Review: Lawn Dogs (1997) – A Flawed, Enchanting Modern Fable If you come across Lawn Dogs on ok.ru, you’ve found a forgotten gem of 90s independent cinema. Directed by John Duigan ( The Wide Sargasso Sea ) and written by Naomi Wallace, this British-American film is a strange, lyrical, and deeply unsettling fairy tale set against the backdrop of gated-community America.
In a wealthy, sterile Kentucky subdivision, 10-year-old Devon (a stunning early performance by Mischa Barton ) feels like an alien. She is a morbid, imaginative outcast who reads about Celtic myths and cuts herself with shards of glass to feel something real.
