I wasn't all that excited about the movie, I found it quite overrated. Don't really understand overemphasized erotica, although I am fond of European fleshy expression, in which the naked human body is not a taboo. It seems like the incestuous tendencies were merely a lame way to fulfill screening time.

Beautifully executed. But fails to deliver the main premise that the film aims to give.

I really loved this - was moderately worried/disturbed by watching it, but it stayed with me for a long time.

Dificil, desafiador, imoral muitas vezes... mas muito suculento! Bom filme. Calculista, subversivo gradualmente e apesar da frieza com que se vai revelando todo o subverssivo desenvolvimento e o conceito... gostei. Tem muito para despoletar apreciações e observações. Surpreende e consegue ser um choque. É um filme invulgar... um ovni.

Frank Sinatra's grandchildren living in an isolated house with the yard where zombies grow and the pool where fish swim, having sex with each other, waiting to lose their dogteeth to learn how to drive a car, also waiting for plains to crash and vaginas give light to their rooms and much more in this weird weird and pretty deep movie.

employs an ingenious method of advancing the storyline via an unreliable narrator and pop culture references. at times the images evoke Hockney paintings in motion. other times, the frame is awkwardly cropped (reminiscent of Campos' Afterschool), denying the viewer of subject matter but effectively enhancing the surreal situational isolation. I've not seen a performance more brave than Aggeliki Papoulia's as the eldest, though Mary Tsoni's turn as the madcap youngest captured my heart. perhaps my favorite film of 2010...

Surreal and disturbing. It gets from very quiet to unexpected moments and then quiet again.

Brilliantly bizarre and haunting, but also charming. The almost constant use of static cameras never becomes cloying, which in itself is refreshing.

Very dynamic in the ways of playing with expectations and self created borders in the story. I paused the moment before the cat attack to laugh for five minutes, but then I became aware of what a metaphore it could be...

See what happens when you contaminate your well ordered household? Is it an extreme example of controlling parenting? This world unto itself is fascinating to watch unravel. Not entirely successful, but compelling and will stay with you to ponder for a while.

It had some good moments, the female lead was excellent. But for the most part it was like Wes Anderson followed the Royal Tenenbaums with a remake of La Cienaga . "Quirky" and much too easy. [No insult intended to La Cienaga, which is subtle and brilliant]

Dogtooth: the audience sees the world inside the fence just as the children would see world beyond the fence.

Strange doesn't begin to describe it. From their parents' maniacal mindwarping to the growing unease between the three of them, the siblings at the centre of this familial study are confined in more ways than one to the grounds of their family home. It's an at times astonishingly sad indictment of mind control and abuse but at others a complete narrative mess. Interesting to say the least.
