    Dogtooth

    ★★★½

    my own dogtooth was removed years ago and never grew back 

    both disturbs and unsettles without solely relying on violent scenes.
    I like that in a film.

    probably not the one for sensitive cat enthusiasts…

    The Other Side of the Underneath

    ★★½

    Satisfies the desire to be shaken up. Wonderful cinematography and wholly accurate portrayals of schizophrenia by those playing the parts. I reckon it works the way it’s supposed to.
     
    The lack of realism in some scenes might be considered a directorial choice to utilise the freedoms of artistic license…?

    Probably should have entered with less expectations over the plot. 

    Though successfully eerie, it was a tedious watch… 
    Both the incongruous scene sequencing and absence of contextual detail - in my mind -  discredited the golden nuggets of acting involved.


    It was good. Don’t listen to me, who am I to speak?
