Reviews for Antichrist
It's a beautiful film, if a difficult one to love, an adaptation in form of "Thanatopsis" that hears Nature speak with a forked tongue
Von Trier, never exactly an optimist, has never been this gloomy and pessimistic. Antichrist is the feel-bad movie of the year.
This is a bold, beautiful journey into the dark side of the soul that leaves you with many questions. But it is a film that will not leave you.
Yes, Antichrist is harrowing and often shrill, but the horrors all serve the underlying theme that, try as they might, men can never fully understand the inconsolable grief women endure when they lose a child.
This woman-hating, audience-baiting, nerve-grating tripe gets off to a rancid start, and then just rots away before your very eyes for 104 stupefying minutes.
It's not a film for the faint of heart. Antichrist is about raw emotional heartbreak and the utter desolation of the soul, a film about being swallowed by grief until there is nothing left.
Whatever your opinion of von Trier -- he’s the enemy of polite cinema, at the very least -- there’s no denying Antichrist is a fine horror film. The movie understands that genuine terror isn’t the domain of ghouls and spectres; it resides in people.
A tough film on every level, and each viewer will have their personal and private response; but von Trier's cinematic flourish is undeniable
With disturbing images that gnaw at us, this is a truly ugly film that delights at shocking us. Von Trier kidnaps our thoughts and takes them into dark, repulsive places
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.
Chaos reigns, indeed, but let's at least attempt to be as unflinchingly honest as von Trier: When has Chaos not?
For those who care, it should generate a fairly spirited post-screening debate on the subject of "What's wrong with this guy?"
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.
I like movies that elicit complicated responses, and "Antichrist" -- which is beautiful, ugly, insightful, crude and lyrical, sometimes all at once -- blew me away.
To watch the Danish provocateur's new film is to experience unrelenting pain, shading into revulsion, while being inspired by his virtuoso command of the medium and sharp intelligence.
Von Trier throws in every controversial topic and random bit of symbolism to the point where the film plays like a parable about the foolishness of reading into parables.
