    It's a typical Lars von Trier movie. You now, the guy that said on stage that he understands Hitler when talking about Jews. The guy that literally said "Ok, I'm a Nazi." The guy that could single handedly could talk his way from a parking ticket into the death penalty. He also made Antichrist, Nymphomaniac, Melancholia and movies like that. It is boring. So freaking boring. Great effects, great acting but just sooo boring. Even when someone gets killed Lars von Trier somehow manages to make even that boring. If you are curious, search "Lars von Trier -- "I understand Hitler..."" on Youtube. There's the whole desaster of a panel online, right for your pleasure. You can thank me later for this absolute hilarious brainfart he had live on stage.

    Another indulgent hodgepodge of a film directed by Van Trier. Overly long and a bit preachy, the film nevertheless succeeds in showing the downfall of a very reprehensible person. The final thirty minutes are..... interesting to say the least. Matt Dillon is surprisingly good in the lead role.

    OMG, this one is disturbing. I know that I probably missed some things, but I am not sure I want to watch it again just because of how brutal this thing is. It is definitely worth another watch, but I am not sure that I will.

    Not for everybody, and probably not for most. As per the usual Von Trier entry, it’s self indulgent, self deluded at times and suffers from a feeling of great self importance. The stretches of good, however, are absolutely brilliant. Dillon is excellent, especially in his lone scenes, and adds a sense of unnerving that makes him hard to watch, in a good way. It’s interspersed with long, drawn out artistic and philosophical conversations and thoughts however, which will turn many off I’m sure… and even if they aren’t, there is no getting away from the fact that these stretches are very long. An ambiguous ending, many questions raised, and on the whole worth a watch. Just be prepared to push through a few scenes.

    I didn’t realize nihilism and vulgar cruelty could also be pretentious and meandering until I saw this pile of crap.

    Started off good I couldn’t finish it because of how bad it got towards the ending, because what the actual fuck was happening

    “If you feel like screaming, I definitely think that you should.” - Jack A dark twisted deranged film that brought back memories of “Henry: portrait of a serial killer”. It has been a long time sense I felt that type of gritty feeling in a serial killer movie. 🔥🔪🌬

    Unrated version is so disturbing I could only watch once. And I’m a horror fan. So… props I guess.
