Review of Dogtooth (2009) by Adam B — 19 Feb 2011
So....uh.....hey Greece.....you're pretty weird. And they certainly don't make them like this in America! I can not believe this pile of trash is nominated for an Oscar. Are you kidding me? It is absolutely awful.
It's exploitation for exploitation's sake as far as I can tell. I realize this is probably not such a big deal in Europe but allow me to forewarn my fellow Americans that much of this movie this is borderline porno (and in one clip, full-on porno), and not at all in the good way.
The story is absolute idiotic nonsense, which maybe would be fine if it ever came to a point, but let me save you the 90 minutes....you never get an explanation for any of it and the ending is a complete cliffhanger on top of that.
Utterly stupid. I wouldn't even have given it one-star, but I did get a hardy chuckle out of the Flashdance parody (although we're left in mystery as to where she saw that film). Outside of that one tiny fleeting moment, this movie just made my skin crawl.
