Review of Dogtooth (2009) by Rory P — 22 Sep 2012
Words cannot express the insanity depicted in this film. Beautifully photographed, minimalist in style coupled with great performances give a terrifying & unsettling sense of believability to this 'family-horror'.
This film belongs on a shelf with films like The Virgin Suicides, & Ice Storm, yet trumps them all, without a hint of pretension or heavy handed messages or metaphors. Instead it is a tight close up of this bizarre family, evoking conflicting notions of the ideals of modern family life.
It's guaranteed to make you cringe.
