Critics Consensus

White God isn't an easy watch, but its soaring ambition and powerful acting -- human and canine alike -- make it well worth the effort.

4/5

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.

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.

White God was one of the most heartbreaking, yet satisfying experiences of 2015.

Beyond all the variations in the infinity of dog movies that exist, the message is always the same: to tame the beast, you must get down to their level. [Full review in Spanish]

The level of cruelty and an obvious allegoric heft overwhelm the film... [Full review in Spanish]

I thought this was a horrible move. It's gruesome and sad. I can't believe people are rating it so highly. They must like to see innocent dogs suffer. There was a lot of blood and gore. Yes, I know it's just a movie, and they didn't hurt the dogs in real life, but still I'd recommend to stay away from this movie...especially if you are a dog lover.

If you like stuff like Lassie and dogs going on adventures as if they are a person, but in a violent R-rated setting, this is for you. Otherwise, I'd strongly suggest you skip this one.

I am sucker for dog movies, being a dog lover. But this was another level. Although I could not understand the language, the emotions were clear. A very different concept in this genre, and executed very well. It was indeed disturbing, but it holds a mirror to the deeds of humanity.

If it was a Disney movie it may make more sense. As it stands, absolutely pointless movie.
