Entertainment Reviews:
DOGTOOTH is part enigma, part allegory and even part sci-fi in its creation of a completely alternate reality.
Los Angeles Times
With much less at its disposal, it out-Cronenbergs Cronenberg by way of a sunny creepiness that insists on its normality even as it turns incestuous and bloody. Primarily about language and the family, it should be seen by homeschoolers everywhere.

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

Rating: 4/5 --
Lanthimos has produced a film that continues to run in your mind after the credits roll, only we are free to enjoy what the characters lack -- normality.

We watch on and on - sometimes in horror, often in confusion, and always in complete awe of its strange and perplexing energy.

Horror and cold humor commingle in Dogtooth.

Product Description:
Three young people exist in a strange world of their parents' devising in this bizarre drama from writer and director Yorgos Lanthimos. A father and mother (Christos Stergioglou and Michele Valley) live in a large house on the outskirts of town with their three children, whose ages range from mid-teens to early twenties. The children have never been allowed to leave the house (which is surrounded by a tall fence), and their knowledge of the outside world has been strictly controlled by their parents, who have chosen to teach them only what they believe is important and have deliberately confused or misled them in many other areas. The parents quite literally treat their children like animals, and the only contact the youngsters have with people outside their family is Christina (Anna Kalaitzidou), a woman who works with the father's business and comes by periodically to have sex with the eldest son (Christos Passalis). Christina makes the mistake of bringing a present for the two younger daughters (Aggeliki Papoulia and Mary Tsoni), and explains the custom is that they should give her something in return. This simple act sets off a chain reaction of events that has terrible consequences for everyone involved. KYNODONTAS (aka DOGTOOTH) was an official selection at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
