Review of Dogville (2003) by Veronica . — 08 Nov 2010

It was like a cerebral and chilling spin on Our Town. Though it didn't have the supernatural frights of The Kingdom, Dogville revealed unshakable human fears and ugliness that morph from seeming kindness into exploitation and cruelty.

Without most props, sets, and a complete lack of environment, all you could do was focus on Grace and her experiences in that small town of chalk outlines, which had to inevitably come to a head. The timely crescendo of violence at the end offers the audience a reward for their journey.

Also I am glad to say that this is one of those movies where all actors hit the spot; kind of a natural air.
