Hard to believe, but December is nearly upon us, and that means we have a brand new batch of Digital and VOD releases to look forward to over the next few weeks. And for those of you looking to indulge in some non-holiday cinematic delights next month, there seems to be quite a variety of films hitting VOD and other digital platforms to keep you cozy inside your home, away from the brutality of winter and its harsh elements.
December’s releases kick off on the 1st with Somebody’s Darling, and December 5th is one of the busiest days of the month with six different titles making their digital bow: The Gatehouse, The Doll Master, Apocalypse Road, Flashburn, K-shop, and The White King. Then, just a few days later, IFC Midnight is releasing the psychological thriller Kaleidoscope, and on December 12th, both The Cutlass and Flatliners (2017) come home.

Thought it builds its world impressively, this totalitarian yarn might not have the wide appeal of the big young adult franchises
This British/Hungarian co-production unfolds in the kind of near-future dystopian society that is so popular in young adult movies. But with a modest budget and a younger protagonist – Djata (Lorenzo Allchurch) is a child whose father has been imprisoned for some undisclosed act of rebellion – this might not have the same appeal to audiences as movies such as The Hunger Games. Still, it’s an impressively realised world; the “Homeland” is an agrarian totalitarian state in which any form of dissent is quashed by jackboot justice.

A grim fascist state is the setting, but this is no Hunger Games franchise: instead there’s an atmosphere of brutality and suspicion in this story of a boy’s search for his father
Here is an interestingly feral movie about a grim dystopian future. It arrives out of left field, with good performances from a good cast, a production that might have made an interesting BBC three-parter, and a narrative that refuses the usual things that happen in a Hunger Games-type film. The young hero doesn’t get to meet some gonzo underground “resistance” and start a long war for three more films and books.
Djata (Lorenzo Allchurch) is a boy living in a fascist state called the Homeland; he is forced to partake in Hitler Youth-type sports with other kids; his mother (Agyness Deyn) is a dissident outcast, as is his imprisoned father, but they are treated...

MaryAnn’s quick take… This 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. I’m “biast” (pro): I’m a big science fiction fan
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
I have not read the source material
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
I really wanted to like The White King, but oh, what a sad mess of a film! This tale — of a boy living in a dictatorship who sees his father dragged away to prison as a dissident and his mother crumbling under the strain of trying to pretend everything is okay — seemingly could not be more plugged into current fears, and yet it feels utterly irrelevant.
The first mistake first-time screenwriters and directors Alex Helfrecht and Jörg Tittel make is in choosing to move the action of György Dragomán’s acclaimed novel,...

The paramount obstacle for filmmakers to overcome when introducing the viewer to a whole new world with a new set of rules to comprehend, is to have them invest, emotionally, and engage with the hypothetical narrative at hand, to comfortably inhabit this foreign environment and abide by it. In Alex Helfrecht and Jorg Tittel’s The White King that much is a given, as they build this dystopian near-future with a minimum contrivance, and have us compelled.
Based on Gyorgy Dragoman’s novel, we meet the Fitz family, as Hannah (Agyness Deyn) and husband Peter (Ross Partridge) play freely with their young son Djata (Lorenzo Allchurch). But any such liberation is short-lived, as Peter is taken away by the law enforcement, accused of being a traitor to the brutal, unforgiving dictatorship they live within. Imprisoned and with a slim chance of release, Djata and his mother are...

Dystopian film and literature has taken a turn from science fiction to possible current affairs, in our recent political climate. With the rise of right-wing political ideology and right-wing political control of influential countries, these stories are more important than ever. And it is in this climate that The White King offers a frightening but all-too-prescient vision of the future. The feature debut of co-directors and screenwriters Alex Helfrecht and Jörg Tittel, it looks through the eyes of a young boy to envision how one could, or could not, speak against an impossible authority.30 years ago, a revolution occurred in The Homeland, which is now an authoritarian country.

"Don't be scared, we're all hunters." Oiffy has debuted a trailer for a very interesting dystopian drama titled The White King, based on the novel of the same name, a reference to chess as well as the actual story. The film is about a care-free 12-year-old boy growing up in a ruthless dictatorship in a dystopian future. His father is suddenly imprisoned as a traitor, and he sets off to try and find him again. Starring Jonathan Pryce, Agyness Deyn, Ross Partridge, Fiona Shaw, and newcomer Lorenzo Allchurch as the boy - named Djata. There's certainly a bit of The Hunger Games vibe to this, but it also seems like an intriguing story of struggle in a world that purports to be perfect. There are a few really great shots in this, I am sold. Here's the first trailer (+ poster) for Alex Helfrecht & Jörg Tittel's The White King,...
