Three teenagers are confined to an isolated country estate that could very well be on another planet. The trio spend their days listening to endless homemade tapes that teach them a whole new vocabulary. Any word that comes from beyond their family abode is instantly assigned a new meaning. Hence 'the sea' refers to a large armchair and 'zombies' are little yellow flowers. Having invented a brother whom they claim to have ostracized for his disobedience, the uber-controlling parents terrorize their offspring into submission.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
To put it mildly, "Dogtooth" is not for everyone, but it can grow on you even if you think you've rejected its influence.
– John Hartl,
Seattle Times,

fresh:
This is the second feature for Lanthimos, and it's a leap from his well-received debut Kinetta. He skilfully doles out tantalizing pieces of information, keeping the viewer in a constant state of suspense and wonder.
– Peter Howell,

fresh:
The true dark-horse nominee among this year's foreign-language Oscar contenders, Dogtooth leaves bite marks that stick around long after you are released from its grip.

fresh:
Horror and cold humor commingle in Dogtooth.

fresh:
As a film, it's pure and singular, but it's not quite fully formed enough to be what one could call truly visionary.
