7.2 | 1h38m | en | Drama

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.

Reviews

jamshedarslan The movie shows how parents can indoctrinate their children into anything. Some people find it odd, but consider the mythological indoctrination all around us, I think this movie presents a highly plausible scenario.

riven-yuki This is my first review here. Now, as the title says, just because we can do it, doesn't always mean we should every weird ****** idea in a movie. the 3/10 I gave was because the message was good and new. But it's portrayed in the weirdest way possible. The movie talk about the dangers of keeping children from the outside world for the sake of "protecting them", but you don't need nudity, extreme sexual themes and animal violence to do that. If you really want to express sexual desires, you can do it just by showing vague stuff(like actors taking off their shirts and hen cutting) that imply what you want. People will understand your message and you won't have to show all these adult scenes, which are just scarring really and not fun in any way.

chloewinns 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.

Anthony Iessi One of the most cerebral, and entirely unpleasant films ever made, but there were certain moments of the film that left me in awe. The acting is frighteningly good. It's a believable portrayal of a brainwashed family. I squirmed every time a character was beaten by the father or beaten themselves. It portrays a horrifying existence absolutely breathtakingly. You either love this movie, or you hate it. I'm pleased to find myself on the love side.
