"Lars von Trier understands the art and craft of making movies, the power the form is capable of combined with the skill to achieve it, about as well as anyone working in the world today. Von Trier creates episodes of brilliant verbal repartee, ludicrous slapstick comedy and piercing emotional power, often overlapping." "IT’S A THRILLING, UPROARIOUS VISUAL AND INTELLECTUAL JOURNEY that surely will not please every viewer, but along the way breaks free of all established notions about what a respectable movie is and how it’s supposed to behave. Watching “Nymphomaniac” is to be reminded of his superb skills in creating vivid worlds and characters on screen." He’s too damnably good a filmmaker for that. "IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO DISMISS VON TRIER AS MERELY A HYPE-MONGER. THERE ARE MOMENTS THAT PROMPT SOMETHING CLOSE TO AWE." What’s most disquieting is how funny, tender, thoughtful, and truthful it is. "IT’S EASY, AND SO VERY TEMPTING, TO DISMISS LARS VON TRIER AS A JOKE - IF ONLY HIS MOVIES WEREN’T SO BLOODY BRILLIANT. It’s a blast, full of life and energy and ideas and humor and sexy naked bodies."
It remains formidable throughout its four-hour length and demanding to think about afterward."
An obsessive, violent, and at times remarkably eccentric sex epic that is often brilliant and never simple-minded or dull. "OFTEN BRILLIANT AND NEVER SIMPLE-MINDED OR DULL"
