Movie Reviews of The Pet
Movie Review: A REAL SHOCKER, A VERY DIFFERENT KIND OF MOVIE!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not your average low budget BDSM movie -- far from it. THE PET is an artistic independent feature that looks into the world of consensual slavery. From the credit crawls, the story appears to be loosely based on at least one real person in Santa Monica California. I thought this could only happen in California -- little did I know -- I went on line in Australia and there are lots of web sites and groups into this kind of strange sexual role-play. The acting is a little stiff occasionally, but it's more than made up for by the incredible cinematography, great music score and shocking situations -- which are all the more mind-blowing when you consider that they are REAL!!!!!

ANY ONE INTO THE BIZARRE HAS TO SEE THIS MOVIE!! IT'S WELL WORTH IT.
Movie Review: A Delicate and Important Topic...
Summary: 5 Stars
It's no wonder that some of the previous comments mock and attempt to diminish this film. Its subject matter, based in factual research, is both stomach-churning and thought-provoking. That the human slave trade is alive and well in the 21st Century, in the "Free World," makes us uncomfortable, and we try to deflect those feelings through sarcasm. Totally understandable, but a disservice to this film. This film bravely sought to shed light on this disturbing phenomenon, so that we might discuss it and possibly strategize how to put a stop to it. The credits alone, which list some of the slave trade statistics discovered in pre-production, are worth watching. I look forward to more meaningful work from this talented director, production crew and actors.Movie Review: TWO THUMBS WAY UP FOR `THE PET"
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a BDSM fan or even in the life style, although I have some friends who are, and they tell me that this film has sparked a huge controversy in that community. I just like good storytelling and good film making and I have to say THE PET excels in both these categories. When you see how easy it is to be taken advantage of, when you trust other people - whoever they are, you will be moved - the movie is shockingly real.
Performances by Pierre Du Lat and Andrea Edmondson are particularly involving, and the score by Chris Walden is mesmerizing. It's a wonderful slice of a very unknown life -- if the bizarre interests you - you'll no doubt get a serious thrill from THE PET.
Movie Review: Must see
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a deeply disturbing film that points out that slavery is still practiced today. Focusing on the exchange of power between two individuals and beautifully photographed, one is appalled at how easily a person can give up control of one's life and ultimately one's very existence no matter how well intentioned the exchange may be perceived by the participants. Most disturbing to me was the attitude of the wealthy & the traffickers who had no regard for the 'pets' as human beings, but simply as commodities for their own purposes whether it be labor, sex, a pet or replacement body parts(the last two are what this film portrays).Movie Review: TWO THUMBS UP! --- A SNAP! ---AND A HIGH FIVE!
Summary: 5 Stars
An insightful movie that exposes an alternative lifestyle that I am sure many did not know exists. The movie shows how many of us are involved in some form of "consensual slavery" that dictates what we do everyday. Many of us are satisfied with that arrangement, the status quo, as long as we have "no worries," as the movie suggests. The fact that the movie does not involve lots of sex and violence allows the above messages to be successfully conveyed to the viewer. Alternative lifestyles exist, more that I know, and perhaps more than you know.
