    Variety
    March 26, 2009

    The performance from newcomer Emily Watson is the centerpiece of this spiritual journey.

    Time Out
    June 24, 2006

    It's a remarkable achievement for all concerned, with Katrin Cartlidge, as Bess's widowed sister-in-law, sharing the acting laurels with the radiant Emily Watson, and writer/director Lars von Trier building the emotional and dramatic intensity ...

    San Francisco Chronicle
    January 01, 2000

    Watson's Bess is an unforgettable character -- simple, profound, heartbreaking, tragic and yet triumphant.

    Common Sense Media
    April 18, 2017

    Gloomy '90s drama has cursing, nudity, mature themes.

    Movie Metropolis
    August 03, 2014

    Both a ferocious love story and a tale of the triumph of vital individual faith over ossified and corrupt organized religion.

    The Dissolve
    April 15, 2014

    It's a testament to Emily Watson's astounding performance as Bess that she comes across as more than a von Trier construct; she's a woman of boundless passion, who follows her faith wherever it takes her.

    Von Trier may put his characters and the viewer through the ringer, yet his empathy toward both is unmistakable.

    Here is a film that makes you feel like you've read the novel, seen the movie, and lived the life of a protagonist more empathetic than any other. You just might need a stiff drink afterward.

    Ozus' World Movie Reviews
    September 06, 2007

    A powerful tear-jerker romantic drama that intriguingly also brings religion into the mix.

    TheMovieReport.com
    September 15, 2005

    The synopsis doesn't begin to do justice to the psychological and emotional complexities of the tale.

    The actors are superb. [But] it is the easiest thing in the world to do ... move people by destroying something beautiful.
