In an effort to protect their children from the corrupting influence of the outside world, a couple transforms their home into a gated compound of cultural deprivation. When the father invites a trusted outsider into their home their reality begins to crumble, with devastating consequences.
« As harrowing as it is humorous, Lanthimos' award-winning journey to a family's heart of darkness is unflinchingly detailed, thought-provoking fare. » (Empire Magazine)
.
.« Horror and cold humor commingle in Dogtooth, whose screenwriters approach scenario construction like misanthropic social scientists planning an experiment -- one whose result suggests that governments might want to rethink policies allowing parents to home-school their children. » (The Hollywood Reporter)
« Few movies convey such a deeply unnerving atmosphere in nearly every scene while simultaneously capitalizing on an absurd black comic sensibility. » (IndieWire)
