Antichrist Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
Self-loathing, mean, ugly and perfectly made, Antichrist is probably the best film ever that you'd recommend to absolutely no one.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Von Trier, never exactly an optimist, has never been this gloomy and pessimistic. Antichrist is the feel-bad movie of the year.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Von Trier and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle use sumptuous black-and-white photography and saturated color. Few movies are as beautifully wrought as this.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
What is Von Trier trying to say?
AV Club
Noel Murray
Antichrist is a boldly personal film, tossing all von Trier's ideas about faith, fear, and human nature into an unfettered phantasmagoria, full of repulsive visions and fierce scorn.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
No doubt some people will find Antichrist repellent. The question is whether you're open to films that are as flawed as they are ambitious.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Of course, von Trier wants us to react, to be repulsed, shocked, offended. Mission accomplished.
Dallas Morning News
Christopher Kelly
Antichrist is a unique form of cruel and unusual punishment: an unrelenting orgy of graphic sex, violence and cynicism that also manages to be wildly pretentious.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Artfully horrific but artificial and soulless.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Chaos reigns, indeed, but let's at least attempt to be as unflinchingly honest as von Trier: When has Chaos not?
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
To call it a simple horror movie would be an oversimplification. To say it is a treatise on the male-female dynamic might be giving the director far too much credit.
Philadelphia City Paper
Sam Adams
Like most of Trier's movies, Antichrist wavers between inspired and insufferable, but it's too nervy to simply dismiss.
Film Comment Magazine
Larry Gross
There will be no thumbs up or down ... [The film] is neither disgusting ... nor is it one of the great films. It is a transitional work made by an artist clearly in crisis.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Scott Von Doviak
On a narrative level, it's gobbledygook, as if von Trier has dredged up the details of a nightmare and filmed them in an attempt to get at some primal truths.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Von Trier has said he wanted to make a genre horror picture, but he couldn't even come up with a decent metaphor: The climax is out of a Grade C hack-'em-up with people chasing each other through the woods with axes and knives.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The movie's story and meaning are not mysterious but deliberately impenetrable, faint gestures in all directions, absent of artistic integrity, intellectual rigor or emotional significance.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Please don't take anything I've said to indicate that Antichrist isn't difficult to watch. It most certainly is, but as somebody (the Marquis de Sade, perhaps) once said: No pain, no gain.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Though it's hard to deny the fierce purity of Gainsbourg's performance, Antichrist plays like an incoherent mix of Gothic horror claptrap and Bergmanesque power struggle. I was more bored and puzzled than shattered and provoked.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Allegorical in the worst ways, Antichrist is about as profound as a slasher movie.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The scandal of Antichrist is not that it is grisly or upsetting but that it is so ponderous, so conceptually thin and so dull.
