Three teenagers are confined to an isolated country estate that could very well be on another planet. The trio spend their days listening to endless homemade tapes that teach them a whole new vocabulary. Any word that comes from beyond their family abode is instantly assigned a new meaning. Hence 'the sea' refers to a large armchair and 'zombies' are little yellow flowers. Having invented a brother whom they claim to have ostracized for his disobedience, the uber-controlling parents terrorize their offspring into submission.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Pretty typical of the Greek families I know. Not weird enough if you ask me. They did not try hard enough.

After seeing both The Lobster and Killing Of A Sacred Deer, I wanted to go back and watch some of Yorgos Lanthimos' previous films. Dogtooth (or Kynodontas) was both unsuspecting and incredibly put together. Never have I felt so uncomfortable yet intrigued and satisfied by a film. There were moments within it that I definitely wanted to turn it off, but I couldn't, I had to keep watching. Saying that I got enjoyment out of this film would be difficult, it was more a sense of confused gratification at its content and outcome. Most definitely in keeping with the rest of this directors films.

No wonder why the Academy got the downhill. Probably this should have won Golden Berry award. Brothers and sisters getting laid? Is this art? Sick to my stomach.It would have won the first award in Las Vegas though

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerFirst off, I'm not a big fan of foreign films, but this one blew me away. The story is mysterious and tense throughout the entire film. The plot is dark, disturbing, and at time horrifying. The dialogue is mostly good but there are some dodgy moments. The story shows how impressionable the human mind is and how we can be driven mad by the abuse and secrecy of others. The only part of the story that I don't like is the fact that there are a lot of unanswered questions.The acting is all around great. Christos Stergioglou, Michele Valley, Hristos , and Anna Kalaitzidou perform well. Angeliki Papoulia and Mary Tsoni bring a pure sense of innocence to the screen. They both perform above standard and truly captivated me with their stellar performance.The pacing is mostly smooth and the runtime is perfect. The amount of nudity is not that bad and the amount of gore is minimal (I had heard that it was worse).Pros: Disturbing story, great acting, amazing performances by Angeliki Papoulia and Mary Tsoni, good runtime, and a good use of nudity and goreCons: Some dodgy dialogue, some slow pacing, and a lot of unanswered questionsOverall Rating: 8.1The only other foreign film I have seen besides this is The Hunt which I loved. I understand that ambiguity can be great, such as Inception and Memento, but I was really hoping for some answers to all the mystery.
