DVD: Dogtooth (18)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

An overtly indie Greek film about a man who keeps his family in a closed compound and schools them in the outlandish dangers of the outside world (deadly cats, falling planes, you name it), the pitter-patter of their peculiar existence gives way to a more conventional narrative only at the very end. Dogtooth may be incredibly weird, but it is remarkable in other ways too: elegant shots, plausible performances, and the ingenuity of its premise. Even its most bizarre stunts (innocent incest, practical self-mutilation) seem possible when conveyed by this excellent young cast.
