Dogtooth is crazy! Literally...About once every 10 minutes I found myself asking the screen, "Are you **cking kidding me?!" Still, I loved every moment of it. Reminded me of how I feel watching [insert any Michael Haneke film here]. And then, once you realize what's actually happening-- my take is the parents are pyscho's who are training their kids like they're dogs because they're not over the death of their first son-- only then can you embrace the genius of the story, the precision of the acting and the realization that now matter how bad your parents were, at least they didn't brainwash you into calling the salt shaker a telephone.… Expand

An effective assault on the moral fibres of human mentality, exposing the role of psychology as manipulated, criticizing humans as controlling, society as complicit to acts of social deviance and ultimately presenting the human as imprisoned with a natural tendency to question boundaries of existence. The topics of incest, prostitution, homosexuality, domestic abuse and cruelty to animals are intellectual properties highlighting social boundaries which directly reflects the physical boundary the family exists within. Psychologically disturbing and expertly constructed in equal measure making this one of the most valid films of the past decade. 10/10 96/100… Expand

this is like no other movie i've ever seen. some parts of the movie lag but the majority of the film is outstanding. its driven by great performances (respect to the actors for taking on their roles) and such a disturbing and unique story. i agree with the other reviews its not for everyone, but those who do watch it will not forget it.

This is w/o a doubt one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen. Top 3. I did not find any humor in it at all and there were so many moments when my jaw literally dropped open. But because it stirred such emotions, for me, it was still a great, great film. I would have rated it a ten but the ending was not good, despite the director's reasoning.
