Critic Reviews of "The White King"
PopMattersMarch 30, 2017The White King is a bold and brave piece of filmmaking that embraces film as an incomplete form. The ideas are presented in such a way that they require the engagement of the audience.
StarburstFebruary 02, 2017The story exudes natural confidence in its execution of that tension. It knows exactly when to pull you in and push you back.
Empire MagazineJanuary 30, 2017The makers have clearly thought about what a future reversion to twentieth century-style tyranny would look like, and the design, anthems and details all ring true.
Observer (UK)January 29, 2017It's an impressively realised world; the "Homeland" is an agrarian totalitarian state in which any form of dissent is quashed by jackboot justice.
Times (UK)January 27, 2017The White King never quite fulfils its initial promise as a dystopian young-adult adventure set in a future police state.
Shadows on the WallJanuary 27, 2017This chilling undertone keeps the audience gripped even when the story seems to spin its wheels.
Little White LiesJanuary 27, 2017The White King is a respectable first feature, but one that would have benefitted from refinement and nuance - a good few moves behind the best films in the genre.
Radio TimesJanuary 26, 2017The White King only springs to life when Pryce is on screen, which isn't often.
Flick FilosopherJanuary 26, 2017This sad mess of a vaguely sci-fi coming-of-age tale seemingly could not be more plugged into current fears, and yet it feels utterly irrelevant.
Total FilmJanuary 23, 2017Co-directors Alex Helfrecht and Jörg Tittel devise a convincingly scary dystopia crossing Nazi Germany with Stalin's Russia. Too bad Helfrecht's script lets it down.
