Movie Reviews of The Pet
Movie Review: One of the best movies dealing with alternate lifestyle slavery
Summary: 4 Stars
While it would appear that the intended purpose of this movie was to expose the existance of human slavery today, it also depicts a beautiful relationship that developes between two consenting adults as it relates to alternate lifestyles. This is a practice thats becoming much more common today and when done properly is a warm and wonderful thing to share between two people.. This movie is an example of what it is and could have been.. BRAVO!!Movie Review: An entertaining watch for open minds
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are looking for a movie that is going to win awards ever for the acting, look elsewhere. But if you want an entertaining look at this erotic world then by all means watch this movie. Those into BDSM will enjoy it. The imagery is beautiful, as is the PET. But they should have left the story alone and not tried to combine two scenarios like they did. Over all, W/we enjoyed it.Movie Review: Borderline good. Try again, please.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a strange mix of two, I suspect discrete, worlds, voluntary female submission and trafficking. Concentrating on the BDSM community aspects would be interesting. Perhaps building on the intro clips, showing 'Jane Steele' being taken into ownership. Perhaps a less fanciful use of the principals. Yes, there are petgirls, ponygirls and websites to prove it, but the majority of women who go for this at the Dominance and submission end are of the surrendered wife form; at the Master slave end are of the 'scening' and 'sex club' sort. Some at that end merge into a form of prostitution, but trafficking is a different and abhored world and the suggestion of intermix is peculiar. The typical reality is normal people from all walks of life who enjoy a form of power exchange, either temporarily or, as they put it, 24/7, who are catered for by some websites that were misrepresented in the film. Trafficking has also been much better dealt with in serious, critically acclaimed works, notably in the UK. In essence, the real world, using better scripts, better actors and less hype would almost certainly be better. It was also amusing that they had a brief clip of male slaves, presumably to maintain a nod in the direction of sexual equality. Would I recommend it for other than a few prurient scenes? not really.Movie Review: Interesting Despite Some of the Worst Acting You Will Ever See
Summary: 3 Stars
The acting is awful. The "pet" is attractive. The storyline is ok but not edited well. The point of the film is a bit murky. At the begining they say that this represents people who voluntarily become slaves- but it looked more like these people were being brainwashed at best. If you are expecting this to be erotic you might be dissapointed. The slaves are naked but the creeps that keep them treat them more like dogs than lovers. Actually most people that I know treat their dogs much better. It is not necessarily well researched either. At the end they list the countries where slavery still exists... but countries like Israel that are widely reported to still have slaves are left off the list.Movie Review: Interesting
Summary: 3 Stars
I may be a bit jaded due to my background in media studies, but the bad acting really gets in the way of the storyline, especially in the first half of the film; the pacing in the first half is also faster than what seems realistic. For those who can overlook the acting, however, this can be a good film indeed. Nonetheless, this is a very thought-provoking film, causing the viewer to consider both why someone would agree to become a "pet" and consider the reality of the human slave trade (especially the facts about various countries immediately before the closing credits).
