Antichrist

Of course, von Trier wants us to react, to be repulsed, shocked, offended. Mission accomplished.

Von Trier, never exactly an optimist, has never been this gloomy and pessimistic. Antichrist is the feel-bad movie of the year.

Antichrist is a unique form of cruel and unusual punishment: an unrelenting orgy of graphic sex, violence and cynicism that also manages to be wildly pretentious.

Antichrist is a boldly personal film, tossing all von Trier's ideas about faith, fear, and human nature into an unfettered phantasmagoria, full of repulsive visions and fierce scorn.

Self-loathing, mean, ugly and perfectly made, Antichrist is probably the best film ever that you'd recommend to absolutely no one.

Antichrist ends up being more unnerving than it is terrifying, and a lot funnier than it's supposed to be.

... a portrait of marriage as a morass of anger, suspicion and power ... that von Trier twists into a diseased hell: paradise rotted.

If you can stomach the violence, which is something that rivals Saw VI, it is beautifully crafted and unlike anything in theaters today.

A confrontational film that dances between the sublime, the mundane, and the shocking with little to no regard for audience expectations.

There will be no thumbs up or down ... [The film] is neither disgusting ... nor is it one of the great films. It is a transitional work made by an artist clearly in crisis.

...absurdly abstract in a way von Trier's best films are not.
