Bradshaw was of the opinion that the movie Dogtooth revealed the hidden side of seemingly normal family life while Ebert saw a message about the plight of children abused by tyrannical parents .
While Ebert found a `` message ... : God help children whose parents insanely demand unquestioning obedience to their deranged standards , '' Bradshaw saw `` a film about the essential strangeness of something society insists is the benchmark of normality : the family , a walled city state with its own autocratic rule and untellable secrets .
