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.

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

Alternate Ending

Unbelievably dazzling and powerful, using these strong, almost abstract collections of colors and shapes that evoke primal, forceful emotion.

Rated: 5/5

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.

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.
