Melancholia Reviews
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Where did Melancholia come from? It's best not to ask. The explanation for the planet's origins is so preposterous that veteran science-fiction writers everywhere must be rolling their eyes.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Von Trier has thought his conceit through, and his vision was thorough enough to attract a superb cast to join him on his one-way joyride to hell.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"Melancholia" is a hauntingly beautiful meditation on depression that is as likely to exasperate as many people as it moves.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
A severe and ecstatic work of art.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Melancholia will haunt you for days, maybe weeks.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Dunst gives a strong, hard-bitten performance even though she is playing an attitude rather than a character.
Film.com
Christine Champ
Melancholia floats in an air of supernatural malaise and tension, a melancholy mirrored in everything and everyone.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
It's a credit to the director's persistence of vision that he finds such eerie images to adorn this wispy tree of death. Like a newborn planet, "Melancholia" is magnetically beautiful, but it's also an unformed mass of hot air.
Richard Roeper.com
Richard Roeper
Bizarre, sometimes tedious, occasionally amazing.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Melancholia is the best film of von Trier's storied career.
Philadelphia City Paper
Sam Adams
A coolly fatalistic reconciliation that not only accepts but embraces Von Trier's mental illness.
Bitch Media
Sara Reihani
A strangely apt visual representation of depression.
Film Comment Magazine
Amy Taubin
Von Trier creates a blackly comic delirium that is terrifying and completely exhilarating.
indieWire
Lisa Rosman
In Melancholia, von Trier has created a mission statement of a masterpiece, one that reminds us that nihilism itself can serve as a legitimate form of creation, a means as well as The End.
Hollywood Reporter
Todd McCarthy
The end of the world, von Trier-style, is a middling thing as a film.
NPR
Bob Mondello
It's a planet that can't come soon enough for her, but one that I kept willing away. Not, I'm a little embarrassed to say, to save humanity from Melancholia, but simply to stay in this remarkable movie's presence just a little longer.
Slate
Dana Stevens
There's something about the solemn, gloomy, often overwhelmingly powerful experience of watching Melancholia. I'll give it this much: This is a hard movie to forget.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
To my mind, Melancholia is both absorbing and absurd. It opens with a visual prologue that turns out to be a prcis of the film that is to follow.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
The most composed and beautiful and conspicuously adult film of [von Trier's] career...
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A masterwork of grandeur, millennial angst and high romantic style, "Melancholia" takes themes that have marked the best films of 2011 and spins them into a blast of cosmic sparkle dust.
