Audience Member It is perfect, since the first to the last minute. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review j a Watching this was like watching tommy wiseau's 'The Room' It appears so laughably amateurish that you think you are not in on the joke. That's all I have to say really, utter garbage from start to finish if it is meant to be serious then it's definitely one of the worst films I've ever seen but I suspect its done on purpose for some reason. Worst thing was I found out after this 'director' slaughtered a donkey for one of his films and now I feel even more sick I watched this trash. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Jill C NOT depressing... just supremely SAD. Neither me or my husband have ever forgotten the first run screening of this. We'd planned to go out for dinner afterward and just had to go straight home, shellshocked. Proceed to fetal position. A film for grownups. And -in a weird way- it's a musical. Did not affect our appreciation. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Alec B Often its cynicism is a bit too juvenile (even by Von Trier standards) but there is still something strangely compelling about the film's brutality mixed with these really peculiar songs. Also, I think that Bjork has just the right kind of otherworldly innocence for the role. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review Kyle M Though immaturely dampened by its melodramatic resonance that overdid the irrational sense of direction just to stir up the powerhouses in the performances without an additional thought on how it should've gone, classily edgy director Lars von Trier decrypts the musical genre in a sensibly unexpected way, stylized as stagey under an exquisite initiative, behind emphasizing the subject that doesn't transitionally get expressed much. Through it all, the injustice and affective positive heart with pending dread traced, Bjork's starring performance is powerful enough to make up for the unnecessary drawbacks lawed characterizations for her encouraging strength with beneficial talents of her stature. (B) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/23 Full Review Melissa A I want to first start by saying that I have a soul and sympathize very much with our main character. But god does it hurt to speak up!!! All of this could have been avoided if she just spoke up and told the truth. She did not tell Kathy about her husband robbing her and the lie he made of her falling in love with him, she did not scream "HELP HE HAS A GUN" when he pulled it out, she really said "he asked me to" when the lawyer asked why she killed Bill instead of giving some CONTEXT and then said she promised she wouldn't say why, didn't say the truth about the money being for her son etc. Look I know she was trying to protect her son but she could've given her son new vision and still have a MOTHER if she wouldn't have been hung. I know we are supposed to feel like this world did this poor little honest hardworking mother dirty but she quite actually dug her own grave by not speaking the truth to the point that it was actual stupidity. And no this is not that type of story where the character gets shitted on for being honest and selfless, she was actually a liar. Why would you protect the man that has you in court and on top of that why constantly lie about your handicap, I'm sure her son would have survived knowing that info of him going blind. Very engaging none the less but will not watch ever again xoxo Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
