Dogtooth

To put it mildly, "Dogtooth" is not for everyone, but it can grow on you even if you think you've rejected its influence.

This is the second feature for Lanthimos, and it's a leap from his well-received debut Kinetta. He skilfully doles out tantalizing pieces of information, keeping the viewer in a constant state of suspense and wonder.

The true dark-horse nominee among this year's foreign-language Oscar contenders, Dogtooth leaves bite marks that stick around long after you are released from its grip.

Horror and cold humor commingle in Dogtooth.

As a film, it's pure and singular, but it's not quite fully formed enough to be what one could call truly visionary.

Doesn't rank as a great film, but it's difficult to take your eyes off it, as you wonder what impossibly bizarre thing might happen next.

In Yorgos Lanthimos’ sophomore feature, Dogtooth, a mother and father’s warped parenting brings dark and dangerous results.

By systematically abusing the language system, Dogtooth confronts the postmodern speculative dichotomy between reality and fiction.

The inexplicable is the everyday and the everyday of these characters lack our reason. What Lanthimos does just right is insure that there are many metaphors and there are none: it’s an X-ray... of fears about society and control.

A really good lay.
