Dogtooth Ratings & Reviews
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 11, 2024I 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.
