Aggravating as [von Trier] may be at times, isn't that the price we pay to sit in a movie theater and actually use our brains…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Radheyan Simonpillai (471) for NOW Toronto (1,621) on 11 Nov 2011

Like its titular emotional state, Melancholia gets under your skin and sticks with you long after it's over…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Willie Waffle (1,383) for WaffleMovies.com (1,380) on 11 Nov 2011

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Ann Hornaday (1,919) for Washington Post (9,851) on 11 Nov 2011

As von Trier's ultimate wish-fulfillment fantasy, Melancholia is a broodingly downbeat self-portrait but also the inspiring work of an artist…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Lou Lumenick (2,103) for New York Post (6,650) on 11 Nov 2011

Nutty Danish provocateur Lars von Trier -- long one of the most annoying filmmakers on the planet -- turns out one of the year's most emotionally…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Peter Howell (1,731) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 11 Nov 2011

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Leonard Maltin (609) for leonardmaltin.com (584) on 11 Nov 2011

To my mind, Melancholia is both absorbing and absurd. It opens with a visual prologue that turns out to be a précis of the film that is to follow…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 10 Nov 2011

Much of Melancholia plays, effectively, like a slice of late 20th century Dogme-style realism, in the vein of the film Celebration by von Trier's…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Richard Corliss (1,032) for Time (1,811) on 10 Nov 2011

For stretches of the film, von Trieria is as welcome as Siberia…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By J.r. Jones (1,066) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 10 Nov 2011

Apocalyptic visions are nothing new in cinema, but they're almost always epic in scale; Von Trier's innovation is to peer down the large end…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 Nov 2011

All that's deliberate, but the lingering question is not: Is Melancholia a sly depiction of the end we deserve, or simply a lovely load of…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 10 Nov 2011

Nearly everyone in this film is unlikeable, their actions inexplicable…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 10 Nov 2011

If only Lars von Trier took into account that audiences might actually want to enjoy Melancholia, rather than endure it, or sift through it,…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 10 Nov 2011

Its true subject is melancholia as a spiritual state, a destroyer of happiness that emerges from its hiding place behind the sun, just like…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 10 Nov 2011

Firmly rooted in the filmmaker's esoteric, frustrating, provoking, demanding narrative style, the movie is also amazingly romantic - lush,…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 10 Nov 2011

If you can stand it, Melancholia pivots drastically at its midpoint, and becomes something else, something far more watchable…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Joe Neumaier (1,294) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 10 Nov 2011

Lars von Trier's end-of-days drama Melancholia feels as if it's something from another world...but even by his standards this remote yet lovely…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 10 Nov 2011

Watching Melancholia is like being stuck next to a brilliant depressive at a dinner party…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Frederic And Mary Ann Brussat (3,072) for Spirituality and Practice (3,072) on 10 Nov 2011

A mind-blowing end-of-the world drama that challenges us to take stock of our beliefs, feelings, and fears about death…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 10 Nov 2011
