Nonsense of a similar level as the latest Iñarritú. This trend of a streaming giant giving an A-list director unlimited funds to film whatever he or she wants without scrutiny is becoming unbearable and needs to end, as it produces always the same: a ridiculously long, egomaniacal, unfocused mess. There are some interesting details, and the craftsmanship is good, but it doesn't hold together at all. (30.12.2022)

White Noise means nearly 140 minutes spent with incredibly annoying characters in a pastel-coloured allegorical world. What I enjoyed about it was the 5 minutes where it becomes almost a Crazy Griswold Family Vacation. After Amsterdam, another overwrought film by an overconfident filmmaker, who should have had a producer, a playwright and an editor at his back, who would have thrown out 50 minutes of dysfunctional wadding.
