acsdoug D @acsdoug 08/30/2023 Comedy? RT lists this as partly comedic? Really? A good story or at least a good ending could have overcome my distaste for the subject matter (or the implausible plot), but neither are present here. See more 08/19/2021 I thought my best films of the year nominations were fairly conclusive until Wednesday evening when Dogs Don't Wear Pants hit me in the face like a baseball bat. Not that the film is especially violent, it's just like nothing I've seen in a long time. We follow John, who tragically loses his wife at the beginning of the film, and subsequently continues his life looking after his daughter in the most monotonous way possible. Whilst bringing his daughter to get her tongue pierced, John stumbles upon a BDSM basement, where he meets Mona, a dominatrix who he forms a connection with as he discovers a dangerous addiction to asphyxiation that gives him an emotional connection with life itself, as well as some sort of peace with the past. It's difficult to explain just how it works and how well it does so, but as I type, this is in poll position for my film of the year, and I do not say that lightly. Not for the faint hearted, but this really is a piece of work, and I say that in the absolute best possible way. See more 08/13/2021 A painfully surprise! A magnetic tour de force which is not easy to see. A huge coctel of genres and textures that are not supposed to work together, but they do in an awesome, moving and deeply original way.

Lack of character development through acting leaves a lot to be desired. See more Marcus S @RT38980805 09/13/2020 A true crapfest of a movie. Ridiculous portrayal of BDSM, boring characters, thin plot, extremely unpleasant in all the wrong ways. One of the worst pieces of Finnish cinema - which is saying a lot, since Finnish cinema is abhorrent to begin with. See more Cory H @RT22079611 08/27/2020 An S&M love film. Good film production, but why would anyone watch this twice. See more Read all reviews
