Movie Reviews of The Pet
Movie Review: STORYTELLING FROM OUTSIDE OF THE BOX
Summary: 5 Stars
I am puzzled by other reviewer's desire to pigeonhole this film into a "genre" or "statement" about either lifestyle or specifically as the creator's social commentary on current affairs. I found The Pet a fascinating and tender exploration of the transformation of two very different people through the bond and experience of their unique, loving, respectful relationship against the backdrop of already clearly defined and labeled "alternative lifestyle" crowd and the tragic, horrifying reality of modern slavery. One must put aside personal expectations of this film presenting yet another version of a BDSM, D/S or human rights call-to-action and instead quietly observe the complex unfolding of a precious, fragile metamorphosis in the midst of adversity which is rare and beautiful to behold. Step outside of the box and into the humanity of this story! 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 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.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: Absolutely horrible
Summary: 1 Stars
If I could give this film less than 1 star I would!!! This film has been all over the internet being billed as a film about BDSM. If that is what you are looking for, please look elsewhere! Aside from the fact that the acting is terrible, cinematography completely laughable, the film isn't about BDSM at all!!! That was simply a cover to market the film on BDSM discussion lists.
Seriously, you can find a better use for your $15.00.
