What to Know

Critics Consensus

It doesn't quite live up to the promise of the first installment, but Nymphomaniac: Volume II still benefits from Lars von Trier's singular craft and vision, as well as a bravura performance from Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Jason Bailey Flavorwire Its riskiness and lack of restraint are admirable, necessary even; the films' indulgences are all of a piece with its boldness and brilliance. It feels like an uncut bag of pure Von Trier. Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Rafer Guzman Newsday "Volume II" is no more fulfilling than "Volume I." Rated: 2/4 Apr 17, 2014 Full Review Tom Long Detroit News It's very weird, given, but it's also effective. Rated: A- Apr 11, 2014 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review An incredibly moving and emotionally profound psychosexual epic is cheapened on a devastating scale by the director's juvenile humor, tiresome desire to shock, and finally, by his need to end Nymphomaniac with an underwhelming and ugly touch of irony. Rated: 2/4 Aug 15, 2022 Full Review Robert Sims Lights Camera Austin The second and final volume of Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac discounts the sexual freedom a woman can and should enjoy and trivializes the compulsive, damaging nature of addiction. Jan 22, 2022 Full Review Ard Vijn ScreenAnarchy In this second part, much of the beauty and wonder from Volume 1 are gone (and missed). Thankfully, some humor remains, but Lars Von Trier breaks many things I'd rather have left unbroken. Jan 11, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Mason M Another hit from Lars von Trier that may be one of the most tedious and disgusting films that I've ever seen, but is on of von Trier's most masterful works. With some of his best writing, von Trier also properly expands on the characters, making Seligman and Joe some of the most layered and interesting characters I've seen in quite the while. And he properly closes the story with a deeply satisfying and frankly genius ending. Though I never exactly needed to see a 5 and 1/2 hour epic of a sex addict telling her entire life story, I'm glad I did. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Alec B While it lacks the near "rock n' roll" anarchism of the first part, Volume II makes up for it by pushing the heavy nihilism we know, love, and expect from Lars von Trier to new heights (or depths really). Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Ari V Like a lot of lesser Triers, has moments—and moments that will likely stick with me for decades—but gets too undisciplined and silly to come together in a full way. The very last note here especially, feels like a rushed cop-out. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/02/23 Full Review thiago s filme legal pra cacete, o roteiro é legal, esse filme é quase igual ao 1 filme é continua mostrando uma mulher que é ninfomaníaca, ela conta para um velho, todas as suas experiências do sexo na sua adolescência com caras e mais caras, agora já na parte adulta, como na adolescência, e vida adulta, e agora mulher ela está querendo novas experiências, novos fetiches, novas transas, e tenta um tipo de masoquismo, e outras experiências, no final quando a mulher estava dormindo, o velho aproveitou a oportunidade e comeu ela, quando ela percebeu depois de 30 segundos, ela pegou a arma e matou o velho e acabou o filme, algumas cenas do filme teve cenas reais de sexo no filme, mostrando tudo, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/25 Full Review Audience Member It's not a picture I would enthusiastically recommend to anyone I suppose but I couldn't turn away from it due to the brazen deep-dive into these taboo kind of subjects. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Vol. I was a good part and I expected this one to be a good continuation but it was nothing I expected. it was unnecessarily too long and the ending didn't have any sense. They could have streched Vol. I to 1 hour more, there was no need of 3 hours more. Overall, it was a big disappointment for me. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
