Critic Reviews of "Breaking the Waves"
VarietyMarch 26, 2009The performance from newcomer Emily Watson is the centerpiece of this spiritual journey.
Time OutJune 24, 2006It'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 ChronicleJanuary 01, 2000Watson's Bess is an unforgettable character -- simple, profound, heartbreaking, tragic and yet triumphant.
Movie MetropolisAugust 03, 2014Both a ferocious love story and a tale of the triumph of vital individual faith over ossified and corrupt organized religion.
The DissolveApril 15, 2014It'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.
City Pages, Minneapolis/St. PaulSeptember 01, 2009Von Trier may put his characters and the viewer through the ringer, yet his empathy toward both is unmistakable.
ColeSmithey.comAugust 30, 2009Here 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 ReviewsSeptember 06, 2007A powerful tear-jerker romantic drama that intriguingly also brings religion into the mix.
TheMovieReport.comSeptember 15, 2005The synopsis doesn't begin to do justice to the psychological and emotional complexities of the tale.
Looking CloserDecember 06, 2004The actors are superb. [But] it is the easiest thing in the world to do ... move people by destroying something beautiful.
