Dogtooth Ratings & Reviews
Daniel Gustavsson
October 11, 2024
I went into this without even reading anything about it. Not even the plot summary. To say the least, I did not know what was going on, at all, for the longest time. And when I finally realized what was happening, I felt really bad for having giggled all the way there. This movie really messes with your head and it is masterfully made. I like how, about 70% into it, it takes a sharp turn (I only say this: video tape) as if to wake up the viewer from the coma this movie has purposely induced. And when it wakes you up, well, you can't look away any more. Your eyes will be glued to the screen until the end, after which you will only feel a big void in your soul. At first i thought "It can't end like this!" but then i realized it's kinda perfect. The movie is like a mindfuck, and it only sets up a discussion. You will think about this movie for days to come, and what we are really doing to our kids as a society. It's very sad. I would like to say that this movie has some seriously pitch black comedy at times too, but I won't because I'd feel too awful.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
To put it mildly, "Dogtooth" is not for everyone, but it can grow on you even if you think you've rejected its influence.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Nothing in this weird, watchable, blas black comedy from Greece stays innocent for long.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
As a film, it's pure and singular, but it's not quite fully formed enough to be what one could call truly visionary.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
Doesn't rank as a great film, but it's difficult to take your eyes off it, as you wonder what impossibly bizarre thing might happen next.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Dogtooth is like a car crash. You cannot look away.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Mr. Lanthimos's ends may be obscure, but his means can be seductive.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
A tense, disturbing, often savagely funny struggle between chaos and control.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Dogtooth isn't for everybody, but it will delight the adventurous.
Philadelphia City Paper
Sam Adams
Giorgos Lanthimos' sublimely unsettling parable begins with an outlandish idea and follows it through with devastating logic.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Horror and cold humor commingle in Dogtooth.
At the Movies
Michael Phillips
You cannot recommend it lightly because it's disturbing, but it's good.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
Few movies convey such a deeply unnerving atmosphere in nearly every scene while simultaneously capitalizing on an absurd black comic sensibility.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
The most original, challenging, and perverse film of the year so far, Giorgos Lanthimos's artfully rigorous treatise on human conditioning can be viewed as absurdist horror or the cruelest of comedies.
Projection Booth
Rob Humanick
That I'm aghast must be a form of overload, and as baffled as I am by this dark underbelly of a film, I did enjoy it.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
A dysfunctional family drama pitched like a Buuelian black comedy laced with horror.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Dogtooth has some definite surprises in it, and it does a terrific job of unfolding the story at an interesting and surprising pace so that nothing is over-explained.

Josh Larsen
...flirts with sadism, but it's much more than a sick stunt.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Jeffrey Chen
A kind of ingenious horror show you just can't take your eyes off of.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
I've seen movies this weird before, but never from Greece.
