Review of Nymphomaniac: Vol. I (2013) by Ravynoushunter — 09 Dec 2021

Another monotone borefest courtesy of Lars von Trier. Not one single character has any feeling in their voice, they sound as if they're reading aloud the contents of every single stop sign in DC. The incalculable boredom is compounded with a juvenile presentation of addiction and sex that would make a middle schooler cringe.

It literally tries to draw parallels between the lead "character's" life and fly fishing, as if this couldn't get any more dull. Its like the director tried to make porn with a plot, but failed to have anything interesting happen. Its all shock and no substance, like a link to an old school shock site with zero context.

Emotional investment is impossible. Lars should just give up and move to the San Fernando Valley. That's assuming anyone would want to tolerate his presence for more than a few minutes.
