Sadly, the film’s ending feels displaced in tone and emotional believability, not coming across as entirely earned, and its pacing feels like a dead stop compared to what Jardin had previously established. “It’s What’s Inside” is a fun jaunt through the dynamics of a friend group and the interiorities of its members, even as it sanitizes its potential. The Holocaust drama “White Bird” is a sensitive, well-meaning but ultimately rather programmatic film, presenting the tragedy mainly as a school lesson for present-day kids. It’s a long flashback by a French grandmother talking to her grandson about tolerance, and it’s mainly aimed at the young adult audience for the source material, a graphic novel by R.J. Palacio.
