Unconventional, to put it mildly. Completely unpredictable; one can never be sure whether the next scene will be hilarious (the cat scene) or disturbing. Lanthimos' film is off-putting, fascinating and, in retrospect, a little hollow. Maybe with a cohesive plot the many original ideas could've been explored in a satisfying way. But 'Dogtooth' is not a conventional film and what stays with you are the What The Fuck?!-moments. It just felt like the film had the potential to offer more than those.

Remarkable. A nightmare world created solely for its purposeless perpetuation of the status quo. Composed nearly entirely with static, off-kilter framing. Marked by explosive acts of brutality and idiosyncratic, hilarious acts of rebellion that stand in opposition to its detached aesthetic. A film, rigorous in technique and unrelenting in its own inscrutable logic, about repression that still, somehow, never succumbs to proselytizing, explication or judgment. Go family values!

David Lynch meets Full House, sort of. A confusing first few minutes, but once things start falling into place you're just blown away by how disturbing and fascinating the premise is. Really, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I get. Filmed in a sterile way, which makes everything seem even more surreal. A dark look into control, protection and denial taken to their extremes.

A fantastic film that deals uncompromisingly with the power that parents have over their children. Director Lanthimos gives few answers, but provokes many questions in his gorgeously-shot and brilliantly acted film.

Weighted with the ability to test an audience, Dogtooth successfully constrains sight without harm to the film's vision. The compulsion of upbringing and it's lead to defiance - a much darker, heavier version of don't shelter your kids before they go to college.

Weirdness 4 weirdness' sake can irritate quickly. & so it does here as it's unclear WTF the director is going 4 w/ this contrived&, at times, nonsensical, ecology of a fabricated family. If it's meant 2b a metaphor 4 the dangers of over-involved parenting or 2 spark a conversation about cultural relativism, we now have a filmmaker that makes Oliver Stone seem subtle. It only draws you in once it moves past the sterile showcase of rituals 2 the conflict that arises when the outside world intrudes

A fascinating, uneasy, sometimes darkly comic film. Lanthimos creates an disturbing and forbodeing atmosphere all the way though this film, as he demonstrates the phenomenal power parents can have over their children, and the horrendous consequences it can have. One thing "Dogtooth" does very well is demonstate how one persons good is anothers evil, and make no mistake about it the parents in this movie are evil in there attempts at good parenting! An intelligent and tough movie. Recommended.

Some scenes and elements will haunt me for a long time (the dancingscene, the sexscenes, the barking, and the 'Dogtooth'-scene). This is truly the creation of a very troubled, but brilliant, filmmaker. By far the wildest oscarnomination this year!

Probably the most disturbing movie I've seen since Antichrist. Some scenes are absolutely harrowing, some have a humor that's almost TOO dark, and all of them are fascinating. It definitely makes for gripping material. The main problem is that Lanthimos really isn't raising or answering any questions. I don't think he's just pushing buttons, but in the end it feels kind of empty. I'd like to let it kick around my brain for a while, but on the other hand, I kind of don't want it in there.

Reminded me a bit of Gummo, another series of loosely connected scenes in an outlandish setting, but seems to aim higher and achieve far less. Some bits are better than others, but you get the general message quite early and then wait in vain for further development or inspiration.

The idea is there, but the blatant amount of nudity and sex suggests laziness or lack of creativity. I don't mind naked stuff, but be clever about it. A lot of the sex scenes seemed forced or went on too long. A shame, too - I think the plot has potential for a U.S. remake.

AFlickering | 6 87th |

an unprecedentedly pointed satire of the middle-class family unit, a blunt allegory about the effects of repression, and most fundamentally a genius demonstration of the arbitrary nature of even our most basic social mores, rituals, systems of thought and communication. goes all in on exploring the perturbing implications inherent in the idea that an unaccountably huge portion of our perceptions are governed by nurture, not nature. it's the black comedy i had hoped haneke would one day make.

Like a strange mixture of Michael Haneke and Larry Clark, this movie stayed with me for a while. It seems like it could have been a little more fleshed out, especially at the end, but it's still quite a fascinating take on unconventional child rearing.

A fascinating, often troubling examination of excessive parental control. Despite not offering easy answers, it'd be imprudent to simply label this film as provocative nonsense. Clearly, Lanthimos does not hesitate to challenge its audience, conveying just enough auditory and visual information as to allow the viewer to draw his or her own conclusions. Pretty much loved this film.

Seeing a cast of wooden actors move around robotically fulfilling a pathological fantasy of a script is not exactly entertaining. Actually, no it's utterly unwatchable. Sure the premise is somewhat interesting, but the execution is so dull I was fighting torpor 15 minutes in.

Who's the one who can measure the ideal quantity of knowledge? Who's the one who decides good and evil? And which one is more harmful for the child outer world or parents? Director explores the worlds of Bad Boy Bobby and Village. When a child is ready for outer world and how much he/she should know about it before. You can see it also as an allegory of a (religious) sect life. Executing the film was amazing, though the output left entirety a bit cold and they could go further.

Flip-flopping between dark humour, unpleasantness, and jaw-dropping weirdness, Kynodontas is a highly memorable film, probably unlike any you've seen before. Reminded me of Buñuel's surrealism, but here there is a cold logic which underpins all the characters' actions. The family's behaviour is not always plausible, but the film explores such unknown territory that we can grant it creative license. Grotesque, utterly compelling, and laugh-out-loud funny at times, this is truly avant-garde stuff.

FunkyAstro | 90 93rd |

A wonderful film about family values and existential reality. Once you get past the incest and bizarre brainwashing, you can start to see that this film actually has some meaningful philosophical merit. It really speaks as to how malleable and susceptible a sheltered mind can be, and how communication is the utmost important thing in our lives. The scariest part of the film is just how plausible it was, and even more so, how the father actually had all the best intentions for his family.

Elysian Air | 92 78th |
|
In one sense Dogtooth is allegorical, while in another the subject is quite literal; it's the blackest variety of black humor until it stretches into surrealism and fantasy as the depraved realism bends and sways into symbolic realms. The family is never named, which suggests the intention is archetype or dehumanization. The children are deeply repressed, although brief individual flashes of defiance occur as they reflexively rebel against their fictitious world.

totalitarianism in a nutshell, it's positively sickening. reminded me a lot of a documentary on north korea i saw, that's how perfectly applicable it is. and when it comes to broadening your horizon, a little jaws and rocky go a long way.

Yiannos | 73 77th |

Dogtooth is less about the perils of overbearing parenting and more about semiotic corruption and the controlling power of propaganda and misinformation; even the attempts at defiance ultimately lead to another form of entrapment because the characters are deprived of the cognitive tools necessary to navigate social reality(i.e the world 'out there'). The film raises interesting questions about the variable nature of reality, but it probably could have gone even further left field.

KMcNeil | 8 84th |
|
Presumably signed "idiosyncratically yours", Lanthimos' sophomore effort takes its cue from Cronenbergian body horror and Ulrich Seidl-esque nihilism among other things, but is definitely still very much its own. The incestuous relations are hammered home a bit too bluntly, but other than that "Dogtooth" touches on an impressive number of themes regarding family, inside/outside relations and even commerce. It's a rare movie that denies the viewer the chance of predicting what's to come.

Eric WK | 90 89th |
|
One of the finest examples of a director achieving his cinematic vision in all of film - think Haneke, but more well executed (yes, I'm serious). Possible interpretations abound, but Lanthimos offers no easy answers. I found the richest theme the question of how much control one has over who he becomes. For most of the film the answer appears to be "not much," but the incredible, near-perfect ending would signal to us that hope may just spring after all.

Judo Koala | 80 75th |

Equal parts Haneke, French arthouse (think Dumont's clinical stagings, especially of sex), and the surrealism of Kubrick, which turn this into a disturbing, frustrating, and, at times, darkly humourous tale on misinformation and social isolation. Difficult to outright 'recommend', but requisite viewing for those seeking a memorable, but strange, experience.

Viewed May 16, 2016. Sonorously photographed, perfectly paced and armed with a wicked sense of humor. There are moments here that are transcendent in their weirdness, like the scene set to Frank Sinatra. But I can't shake the feeling that it isn't really all that smart - for all of its grotesqueries, it feels remarkably shallow, when all is said and done. This is especially true after seeing The Lobster which is, if anything, TOO pointed.

Truly disturbing film about what happens when some parents attempt completely isolate their children from the outside world. The static photography is beautiful - oddly-framed, it adds to the strangeness and shock of the events unfolding. The characters behave in bizarre ways (but who wouldn't in this scenario) and the film leaves us with few explanations or conclusions.

Valenzetti | 84 68th |

What if Haneke was more hands-off? The danger in surrealism is divorcing entirely from a sense of reality, losing oneself in unconnected signifiers. Lanthimos manages to keep this highly creative work from veering too far into confusion, though.

Bunken | 95 99th |

Weird, provocative, perverse. The adjectives are many! I havent seen a film quite like this before. Lanthimos creates an enviroment, which is so far away from our ordinary everyday life, where the parents tries to do what they seem for the better, but ends up personifying pure evil. It is well written, well acted and the overall premise is interesting, but at some points you just cannot help thinking WTF! Thumbs up for Jaws/Rocky/Flashdance references!

A difficult to watch, but thoroughly engaging picture of a dysfunctional family, run by the parents who wish to keep their children safe from 'bad influences'. While the content is shocking, the style and delivery is quiet and measured. A minimal script provides the information you need, while excellent performances from the 6 person cast provide rich context and emotion. A highly recommended viewing.

Hits all the right notes for a surrealist film. Completely bends a common notion while keeping within a concept an audience can grasp as normal. Perfect lighting, sound recording, colouring, acting. Most notable is the stubborn choice in framing & rich shot composition. Lick me.

A deeply surreal and disturbing film.The filmmaker's bring us into this hellish world and just leave us as observers.They offer no explanation to what's going on leaving us to figure out what's going on as the film unfolds.The camera work, the use of or lack of color and sound all offer us a sense of a dull and sterile life for these kids.While I didn't really enjoy this film I applaud the filmmaker's willingness to make a bold and unconventional film that challenges you to go outside the box.

Creepy, queasy psychological horror movie; to be congratulated and admired for its commitment to taking the implications of its tale to far-out extremes. All actors are fine, playing variations of seemingly unplayable roles, film is beautifully shot and unflinchingly directed; it is only when it is over, you question what point the film-makers were getting at. Perhaps a simplistic study of the dangers of totalitarianism or organised religion? Either way, film earns its score for sheer chutzpah.

Car crash viewing. You know that what you're seeing is gruesome and horrific, yet you can't take your eyes off it for a second. The most shocking thing for me was how funny some of the scenes were - so absurd, so utterly repulsive, all you can do is laugh in a futile attempt to relieve some of the discomfort.

This film sounded like it would be perfect for me, but I was sorely disappointed. Although there are aspects of this odd family that I found intriguing and sometimes hilarious, nothing actually happens until about the final ten minutes of the film. If the story had been about the daughter escaping into the real world and having to deal with a world that she knows very little about, it would have been compelling. Instead we got a couple hours of awkward sex scenes and slow pacing. Ugh.

The good thing is that it is not "critical." It does not construct the doxa to give us the aletheia, but almost claims that everything is doxa, there are only surfaces, more powerful interpretations replacing each other in every regime. The only shortcoming might be that it gets repetitive over time, but it is true that it probably creates a stronger impression. In any case, certainly a fresh breath to contmeporary cinema, and a politics based on the sensual, not the intellectual. Good one.

Admirable, but I suspect [will have to see more from Lanthimos' filmography] maybe more interesting for the actors than the filmmaker, tbh. The scene, for example, where Aggeliki Papoulia, as the older daughter, imitates moves from "Flashdance" was incredibly and terrifyingly beautiful and expressive, and is probably some of the best acting I've seen in film.

Dogtooth deals with the brainwashing of children with a supremely creepy snapshot of a family living in isolation. The three teens' alarming behaviour, whether violent or naïvely sexual, is hardly surprising given the constant misinformation they receive, and each conveys a heartbreakingly sincere innocence that nicely contrasts the vileness of the parents' vision. The sterile setting and long periods of near silence effectively underpin the deeply unsettling mood that Lanthimos creates.
