Review of Breaking the Waves (2014) by Matthew S — 16 May 2015

Though many of the themes and ideas Lars von Trier explores can be interpreted in various and often controversial, this remains a potent and magical film. This is evocative, disturbing, touching and an oddly inspirationally-based study of faith and the love it creates.

Emily Watson is always brilliant, but this is her film. She owns it and her work will leave a shadow in your soul. Brilliant and a must see for any person who loves cinematic high art.
