Details

The father, the mother and their three kids live at the outskirts of a city. There is a tall fence surrounding the house. The kids have never been outside that fence. They are being educated, entertained, bored and exercised in the manner that their parents deem appropriate, without any influence from the outside world. They believe that the airplanes flying over are toys and that zombies are small yellow flowers. The only person allowed to enter the house is Christina. She works as a security guard at the father’s business. The father arranges her visits to the house in order to appease the sexual urges of the son. The whole family is fond of her, especially the eldest daughter. One day Christina gives her as a present a headband that has stones that glow in the dark and asks for something in return.

LIFO (Theodoris Koutsogiannopoulos)

Press reviewer
Internet reviewer
TV reviewer

Lanthimos sees this family picture as a part of something universal, as a venture that is built upon good intentions but glances towards fasism and in the end perverts human behavior...

Seems sometimes like a nightmare and sometimes like a surrealist farce.

Made me forget about its failings and all it left was the experience of a shocking, realistic, original, violent, provocative, humanly and funny movie.

It trips our prejudices for life and as we try to stand up again, makes us think again about them.

cineman.gr (Vasillis Kroustalis)

Added by redcarpet
Internet reviewer

Constantly delivers small blows to the stomach of the greek family and its over-protectionism. Its scenario walks on the thin line of ridiculousness, gives no explanations or causes and isolates emotionally the viewers...

A hard, shocking movie for the machinations of authority, that find their worst interpretation inside this family.

Lanthimos choose this exaggeration to show the magnitude of tragedy and with an overly realistic style depicted the sick reality of the secluded family.

It is so otherwordly as realistic, that it would easily be a science fiction movie.

Internet reviewer

An crude early work that is not redeemed by its lack of cliches or its unwillingness to entertain. ... It belongs to the kind of movies that are easily misapprehended and "deified". Sorry, I am not persuaded.

I still cannot understand what the other critics found in it, as it is not fully explained in their reviews.

Dull acting, dull characters, dull environment, dull -or inexistent- music, chaotically empty dialogs, meny questions, no visual or auditory or aesthetic satifsaction, no meaning, no aim, no symbolism.

Very sick! All who liked it must go to the shrink, now! Cinema is not only photography or good directing. Why they didn't show us the shit exiting the actors's asses?

It shook my mind and left me think about these things I don't dare to do. The scenes where you see the dogtooth in the mirror are clear and exceptional.
