Simply Perfect

Powerful

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Yes folks, Don't confound this feature speaking about wild dogs with Sam Fuller's WHITE DOG and speaking about the nearly same scheme. Both are masterpieces anyway.

This movie was pretty pointless. Acting, mediocre. Story, pointless. Movie, pointless. The ONLY reason I can fathom it got any awards is for the performance of the DOGS! I mean that...literally. Disconnected movie. And WHY the title?? The movie didn't seem to know what it wanted to be...a 'Ben' type of movie where the rat takes over...the Pied Piper of Hamlin where music tames the savage beast...or even some kind of statement of the wrongs of animal cruelty or Planet Of the Apes scenario with dogs instead of "monkeys" ( which the Chimpanzees didn't like being called). It was just a poor excuse for a movie. Never delved into why the dogs followed Hagen, the chief canine. Never delved into why all the dogs were somehow rabid (was it the nasty water they drank??). It just made no sense at all.

This film is not only about the relation between dogs and humans. It is also about the Hungarian society with their neofascist political parties. How these parties persecute dissidents and minorities in the society. The total xenophobia that is shown, mostly against the population of Gypsy and Jewish origin, but especially during these days with the migrant crises. It was a fantastic powerful film also because of the ego-centric characters of the girl's parents and the brutality that money-gambling can fodder. The opening scene with the carcass and its stamp of approval also suggested the corruption inherent, and inherited, in the former communistic Hungarian state.

While dredging around Netflix, every so often you come across a title which makes you stop and try to figure out what the film is about. White God (2014) is one such movie. The box art is a young girl riding on a bicycle away from a pack of dogs. Looks kinda indie. Could be horror. Could be an art house flick. Next you read the plot synopsis according to Netflix:"When a cruel father dumps his daughter's beloved dog, Hagen, out on the highway to fend for himself, Hagen not only survives the horror of abandonment, dog fights and starvation, but rouses an angry army of mongrels out to exact revenge."Sounds like a Grind House version of Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey. Right? Actually, White God is so much more. Between that review and a recommend from Andrew Jupin on the We Hate Movie Podcast, I'm all in.—Continue reading at: www.mockfilmsblog.com
