5/10
Disturbing Behavior
12 June 2013
Dogtooth is this artsy little movie that came from Greece and even got a Academy Award Nomination. I'm guessing someone must have really like this film. This film deals with people who have been totally isolated from the real the world. They live on estate where the only people in contact with the outside world are the parents and a security guard that visits.

This movie shows you people who don't understand the real world. One of the kids asks what a zombie is. The mother replies "A zombie is a small yellow flower." You get the impression that some of the kids have serious mental problems. There is scene where the one girl takes a Barbie Doll. She starts cutting off the dolls fingers and feet. A normal kid wouldn't do this. There are scenes like these some people may find disturbing.

There are some people that didn't like this movie because it dealt with subject matter they thought is immoral or something. I don't think there was anything wrong with the subject matter. Yes There are some disturbing scenes in this movie. I thought this movie was slow. Most of the time nothing is going on that is of super importance. Most of the time I felt bored. I feel like this movie is worth seeing just to see what it is. Maybe you will like it more than I did.
