Offbeat genre bending film with unbridled emotion. The kind of film I watch knowing it's important, but glad when it's over.

I hate when people sing in movies. This is the exception. It's an almost comically sad story, but you can't help but feel it. Masterpiece!

Absolutely no doubt that this is Lars von Trier’s best film. It’s not even particularly close.

Really tough watch, impressive acting from the whole cast, Bjork in particular delivers a soul crushingly sad performance.
