Sometimes art is intentionally shocking for its own sake, but other times, it uses a completely unrealistic and shocking situation to show us something about the way we live. I don't want to spoil any of what Dogtooth is about - it takes a bit to figure out what's going on, but once we do, it's a fascinating look at what might happen if this situation were ever to come about. The truths we know can be controlled, but that control has to go all the way.
Similarly, I'm impressed by movies that don't use a lot of space - this movie should've cost almost nothing to make, but its message is universal and powerful.
