Opisy(1)
Na Węgrzech wprowadzono właśnie prawo, które nakłada poważne ograniczenia na wszystkich właścicieli psów-mieszańców. Ludzie zaczynają wrogo spoglądać na te zwierzęta. 13-letnia Lili zaciekle walczy o to, by zatrzymać swojego czworonoga, Hagena. Nie rozumie nieludzkich przepisów i oporu ojca, który w końcu porzuca psa na środku ruchliwej ulicy. Dziewczyna decyduje się wrócić po pupila, ale na miejscu już go nie ma. Hagen błąka się po Budapeszcie, na własnej skórze doświadczając, jak okrutni mogą być ludzie. Musi uciekać przed hyclami, wpada w pułapkę zastawioną przez chciwego bezdomnego, aż w końcu zostaje uwięziony i trenowany do krwawych psich walk. Gdy udaje mu się uciec, dołącza do sfory rozjuszonych psów, które mszczą się na swoich oprawcach. Reżyser mówi, że jego film to niepokojąca metafora polityczna, będąca komentarzem do tego, co obecnie dzieje się na Węgrzech i w całej Europie. (Nowe Horyzonty)

As a declared metaphor for power relations and exploitation across ethnicities in the context of society, Mundruczó’s White God is too ponderous and naïve. It could even be said that the project got out of control like the dogs in the film and the director got swept away by the challenges of implementing it and the potential for spectacle at the expense of the message. But what if the thing that some criticise Mundruczó for is actually the essence that he is increasingly working toward achieving. What if he is indeed the European equivalent of Cuarón, who does not deny his humble roots, but is rather gradually working his way up to ever more ambitious and elaborate projects? His earlier films already contained the seeds of high-concept art, to which he has added a blockbuster production dimension in his more recent projects. Whereas White God is embarrassing as an Eastern European festival film, it is sufficiently subversive and though-provoking as a Euro-art variation on the Hollywood dog melodrama. Primarily, however, it remains an absolute phenomenon and, in terms of production, an outstanding work that fascinates with the tenacity of the analogue rendering of its sequences, which anyone else would have immediately rejected or handled with digital effects. Even a solitary work can look like this.

I don't really like movies that are primarily allegorical, and I also don't really like movies that try to emotionally manipulate the viewer, such as those involving harming dogs. However, this film presents it all in a meaningful and well-executed way that I found captivating, especially the presentation of the film's final message. This was good.

The Rise of the Planet of the Dogs, filmed with strong art energy and, unfortunately, all the clichés, logical awkward transitions, banalities and playing-for-effect that are more suited to Hollywood disaster schemes. The intended parable of xenophobia and the dominance of the "white gods" over the "inferior races" has shrunk to a few conspicuous symbols, flat characters and unconvincing replicas. The work with dog actors, energetic camera guidance and work with sound deviate in some moments, but despite the dynamic movement of the characters across the mise-en-scène, White God feels more like drawn out dog howling. I am disappointed. I would personally expect more from the winner of the Un certain regard section than just transparent dog eyes.
