The scenario of the movie is kind of shaky. The whole movie is supposed to deal with a tax inflicted to mixed race dogs owners, but it is actually never explained. The lack of explanation of the context take away all the credibility. At the end, the movie is ONLY about a girl and her dog. If you're looking for a political, sanitary or whatever kind of conflict, you're in the wrong place.
The human acting isn't great but all the scenes with dogs are simply great. I have to congratulate the director and the dog trainers for such a hard and amazing job.
Also, I believe the trailer was great, a mix between a little clue on the movie and a breathtaking cinematographic job. And I think subtle trailers that do not tell everything on the movie can work. But the problem here is that the very best visual scene of the movie actually IS the trailer... So that sets the expectations for the film much higher than it is supposed to be.
Anyway, if you take away all the violent scene of the movie, I think White God would actually be a good Disney film.
