Rocco T. Thompson Slant Magazine Son of the White Mare, like all fables, is about the oldest and most primary human urges, creation and destruction, and Jankovics manifests that endless cosmic cycle as his own animated dreamscape in this, one of the absolute pinnacles of the medium. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Eric Kohn indieWire This movie unfolds like artwork etched into a cave wall and brought to restless life by an unclassifiable spell that only cinema can muster Rated: A- Aug 21, 2020 Full Review Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle As a narrative work, it undeniably drags: but then, that's not really its intent. This is a spectacle to be absorbed and analyzed. Find the biggest screen you can, and make your own footnotes. Rated: 4/5 Aug 20, 2020 Full Review Seth Troyer PopMatters Every moment of Son of the White Mare is bright and exploding with color. Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending Unbelievably dazzling and powerful, using these strong, almost abstract collections of colors and shapes that evoke primal, forceful emotion. Rated: 5/5 Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills A different kind of excess is offered the by eye-popping color psychedelia of Hungarian animator Marcell Jankovics...

Audience Member Amazing visuals, amazing voice acting and an amazing story, this movie really makes you feel like you are watching an acient legend unfold. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Stunning animated masterpiece. One of a kind. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A wonderful and groundbreaking film, gifted with the primitive charm of old myths. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I adore this movie and pray it will someday be available on Bluray or DVD in the states. It is an artistic trip through mythology with grandeur and humor that feels still modern and experimental while at the same time ancient from another time. This may not be a general audience film. It is an artistic reimagining of a pre-Norse mythology that lands somewhere between a big budget Samurai Jack episode with an Allegro Non Troppo vibe with a dash of Fantasia grandeur. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Son of the White Mare is a psychedelic and symmetrical headtrip filled with gorgeously rendered animation, adult content, and shockingly progressive sound design that utilizes surrealist sounds and tones to bolster its impressive visual counterparts. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Just... wow. Gorgeous, extremely inventive animation and a universal fairy-tale story make this a breath-stealing watch. This animation is available on Youtube. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
