Reviews

Rashmi Desaayi Modern viewers are smart enough to make a right choice when it comes to looking for a movie that is engaging, encouraging and delivers a message with a perfect combination of natural acting and unbeatable direction skills. The White King stands stronger in almost every way and hence has become the first choice of smart viewers. I Love it. A 12-year-old boy growing up in a dystopian dictatorship called Homeland, without access to the rest of the world.One of the best of drama movies.

holroydsa A very intelligently thought out and directed film. Beautifully shot in a stunning landscape. The film is emotional, eerie, thought provoking, disturbing (in an interesting way) and a refreshing change to the day to day films released. If you want to watch a 'change from the norm' film I would highly recommend people to watch.

publicity-50 This was a visually a stunning film about a charmed Dystopian world filmed on location I think in Hungary. Uncomfortable to watch through the innocent boys' eyes as he realizes all is not as it seems..... Very good acting from young newcomer and all the cast - some terrifying twins like something out of Mad Max. Jonathan Pryce always hits this characters spot on. Agyness Deyn very natural. Strangely topical in our current climate in 2017... Who really knows what is what and of course, a child sees things differently. Never read the book, which clearly has undertones of 1984 and other classics.A great first film from a new producing/writing/directing team.

Late-626 This is a heartfelt and touching story of a boy growing up in an unnamed totalitarian state. (I'm not an expert on this but was reminded of Stalinist propaganda). He and his mother try to find his father after he's taken away (as a clear dissident), trying to enlist his grandfather (a patriot of the regime) and finally appealing to the regime itself. It's also a coming of age story as the boy's eyes are opened gradually to the state he's living in.It's beautifully designed and shot and the boy and his mother (Agyness Deyn) give terrific performances. A first feature which has had time, love and attention poured into it and a lovely gem of a film - deserves to be widely seen.
