rating: 'not subtle'
you feel affected by the fact that the cast actually participated in making 'dogtooth' maybe more than you feel affected by robert downey jr.'s participation as the lead in 4+ iron man-related movies
you feel abstractly affected by the family construct within the movie and how it relates to your own
you think 'religious ass' and 'magical realism' repeatedly while screening this movie but feel like these are somehow false reactions/interjections and question the relationship between the themes in this movie and certain associative 'religious' and 'zany' neuron clusters in your brain
you feel surprised that 'dogtooth' seems uncomfortably dissimilar to your interpretation of 'dark comedy'
themes in this movie:
- prostitution
- animal cruelty
- incest
- pornography
- explicit language

- restricting technology

- psychological abuse
