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.

Rating: 4/5 -- Imaginative, energetic and ambitious, White God is mysterious, unique and ethically perplexing. Warning dog lovers: some scenes may be distressing. Full Review

4 stars out of 5 -- Superbly acted allegorical drama with a climax that is not only breathtakingly exciting but flawlessly handled.

White God's attempts to merge arthouse sensibilities with B-movie fun tends to be hit or miss, but while Mundruczo may falter on the arthouse side, he certainly knows how to make an entertaining genre film. Full Review

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.

Rating: 3.5/5 -- White God is too expertly realized and audacious to not at least recommend, even if I felt dispirited and cheated to have endured so much animal-related violence only to arrive at the Shawshank Redemption and Deep Blue Sea beats of the denouement. Full Review

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.

Product Description:

Kornél Mundruczó's drama WHITE GOD tells the tale of a tenacious dog and its loving owner, a 13-year-old girl whose parents are engaged in an ugly divorce. Set in Hungary, the movie kicks off as the government passes a law to encourage and control dog breeding that forces those owning mutts to pay an extra tax. This leads to heartbreak for young Lili (Zsófia Psotta), when her frustrated father abandons her beloved dog Hagen on the street in order to avoid the new law. Lili decides to reunite with her dog, while Hagen also longs for Lili, and ends up leading a group of similarly abandoned canines. WHITE GOD screened at the Un Certain Regard program at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.
