I'm not sure why, but, until I started seeing reviews of it, I thought that White Nights might be a pretty good film. The reviews I've seen so far proved to be accurate in their assessment of Taylor Hackford's new movie. White Nights just doesn't make it. It works neither as a thriller nor as a romance, both of which it has some aspirations towards. In fact, with one or two minor exceptions, White Nights only works when its stars, Mikhal Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines, dance. At these moments, White Nights works very well indeed. Alas, though, Baryshnikov and Hines spend about 1/2 hour total dancing, and White Nights clocks in around ten minutes over the two hour mark. That means that White Nights has enough failed material to make up a whole movie of more modest length. That, finally, must be the verdict on White Nights: too much bad to mediocre stuff, too little good stuff.
