Dogtooth
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.

Such a frustrating disappointment
As Good As It Gets
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The most twisted and revolting film I have ever seen. This film is sick but an interesting study in human nature and also unfortunately entertaining. ScreenJunkies put this on my radar. I honestly do not know what to say, humans can be this sick and twisted. Just look at what is going on in Burma right now - so yeah, morally evil stuff happens a lot but now the next level horror has found its way into mainstream entertainment over the past ten years or so. Does that mean as a society, we are changing to normalize the horrors of the world as it continues to drop into the lowest common denominator where was I? Whatever. We're finished here.
A little group of grown up children commanded by a couple of weak and dominant humans who take the control of them using just the language. This movie give you answers to things you never asked, but you should. Watching this I thought things about the reason why we bring the kids to the school and what happen to farmers living far one from another. This movie is a crude exploration to the effects of the controlled isolation and the power relationship between those who know nothing and the people in charge.
Greek indie movie directed by Yorgos Lanthimos about three teenage siblings (a man and two women) who live in isolation without being able to leave home because of their protective and authoritarian parents who told them that they can only leave when their first canine tooth falls of, and another bunch of lies that make this family totally dysfunctional, as well as the film itself. Yes, it serves no function unless your idea of entertainment is to get bored. Towards the end of the film, I ask myself: what is the purpose or message? There are those who see in this film a social / family allegory, because we are largely the product of our education and of the lies we're told taken as truth, but even that perspective does not save the film from my negative evaluation, it was very badly thin and NO, it does not have a deeper meaning. It is what it is.On the same topic, Plato already did it almost 2500 years ago. Just read his Allegory of the Cave (it's a very short text, you can find it easily on the net) and you'll be 1000x better served in less time.
There are introspective moments and a few important messages, but for the most part, the thought that lingered in my mind while watching the movie was : "This movie is different. A cetrain number of people (not too many i hope) believe that something is "good" when it's "different"."To me, it's not good. Not even one bit. It's just different.
