Through Hagen's journey into the pit of madness, this strange film, directed by Kornél Mundruczó, becomes a thriller, a parable, as well as a tough critique of the way men assume superiority over nature.April 10, 2015
White God offers a dark - very dark - take on the way humans exert authority, and superiority, over our fellow creatures.April 09, 2015
A mixed-genre fable that evokes Dickensian melodrama, coming-of-age tropes and outright horror.May 14, 2015
If someone wants to make a case that our four-legged actor friends deserve to be considered for Oscar consideration, right alongside Streep and McConaughey, they need only offer White God as evidence.April 09, 2015
Think "The Incredible Journey" crossed with "The Birds" crossed with "Rise of the Planet of the Apes." Or maybe just imagine "Cujo" as told from the dog's point of view. Don't take grandma.January 02, 2016
Although bold and intermittently gripping, the end result smacks of overreaching.January 01, 2016
Reads as a stylized conceit, undercut by too many little moments when performances, from human and canine alike, don't truthfully express what the movie says they do.January 05, 2016
This unique Hungarian fable about racism and immigration is told from the point of view of dogs and children.February 25, 2016
Mundruczó's focus is clearly going to the admittedly impressive execution, but White God lacks the narrative weight to leave an impact.April 24, 2015
What it all means is open to interpretation. Read it as a parable or as a horror movie. Read it as the story of love between a girl and her dog. Read it however you want. No matter what your take, you won't be disappointed.March 30, 2017
An astounding, crushing film.
