g j Every bit as knee-slappingly hilarious as you'd expect a Lars Von Trier comedy to be. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Mason M A hilarious film that succeeds at its intention, being a fun comedy. But doesn't succeed quite as much as a film, especially not a Lars von Trier film. This film was great, the writing is amazing and the performances were wonderful. But the strange visual style and lack in heart keep this from being a truly great movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review dave s It seems odd, based on his oeuvre of controversial films, to watch a comedy directed by Lars vonTrier but, strangely enough, The Boss of It All works. The owner of an IT company fabricates a president of the organization in order to shift blame when he has to make difficult decisions. As a result, when it comes time to sell the company, he hires an actor to portray the fictitious president in order to avoid the wrath of the employees. The concept is clearly absurd, but the humor, dry as a bone, works throughout the film as the actor uncovers a long thread of deceit and dishonesty. The movie is hindered by some truly bizarre editing choices and some less than traditional framing of shots, but von Trier clearly has an ear for comedy and even takes a poke at himself with a reference to his Dogme 95 school of filmmaking. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Smart. A different, more intelligent approach to an office comedy. Complex in the way it builds upon and unravels its own premise. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/11/18 Full Review Audience Member Uma comédia pautada no absurdo, mas que ancora suas situações em neuroses realistas nos colegas de uma empresa. No entanto, tais neuroses nunca seriam expostas por pessoas reais, e a beleza de "O Grande Chefe" é justamente deixar fluir o comportamento humano até suas últimas consequências, enquanto ironicamente o comportamento de um ator medíocre é analisado sob a ótica da incompetência. - cinetenisverde.com.br Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A funny office comedy with strange characters with weird personalities. Maybe a common office history if you analize the situation Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
