Opinions on 'White Noise' are a mixed bag, with viewers finding it visually striking and uniquely absurd, yet often overly verbose and confusing. The film's quirky, 70s pop vibe and thought-provoking themes on mortality are appreciated, but its lack of a cohesive narrative and excessive dialogue leave some viewers disengaged. Adam Driver's performance is a highlight, yet the film's pacing and structure are points of contention.
