Movie Reviews

Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- "WHITE GOD possesses a potent message, with the pooches representing all those who have been oppressed..." - 02/23/2015 Total Film


4 stars out of 5 -- "Superbly acted allegorical drama with a climax that is not only breathtakingly exciting but flawlessly handled." - 02/20/2015 Empire


"What the film has going for it, beyond general audacity, is a handful of memorable images, most of them involving the creative use of real rescue dogs." - 03/26/2015 A.V. Club


3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[A] brutal but stirring fantasy about street dogs rising up against cruel and indifferent humans." - 03/27/2015 RogerEbert.com


"A small, touching fable about a girl and her dog becomes an adrenaline-pumping thriller about animals against humans in Hungarian filmmaker Kornél Mundruczó's exhilarating radicalization allegory WHITE GOD." - 04/02/2015 Los Angeles Times


"Perhaps one of Mundruczo’s points is that humans tend to treat animals with more compassion than their fellow people....He has cast a beguiling ensemble of canine characters as stand-ins for the world’s oppressed." - 04/09/2015 Washington Post
