The story

What Is Herbert White About?

The premise of Herbert White without spoilers.

Michael Shannon portrays Herbert White, a figure taken from Frank Bidart’s poem. He works in the lumber industry, supports his family, and secretly stalks and murders women he meets in town. Though unsympathetic, the 14‑minute film invites viewers into his mind, revealing how his outward behavior mirrors that of ordinary people, a technique reminiscent of “Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.”
