(1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 61% Fresh Page   1   4/5 "It goes well beyond the clichés of melodrama and into the realm of near-genius."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null 3.5/4 "...a magnificent human drama that sends us searching for messages in a thick blanket of emotional pain..."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 4/4 "The musical is dead. Long live the musical! Lars Von Trier has not only resurrected the form in his latest film, he has reinvented it."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth C+ "They speak English, but the film doesn't feel American."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz D "It offers its not-so-profound socio-political commentary in a pointlessly showy style thatsays more about its creator's self-importance than any message he wants to deliver."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3.5/4 "A thought-provoking, emotionally resonant, and innovative cinematic experience."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/4 "it is hard to resist the suspicion that the whole thing is a ruse to satisfy some deep-seated sadistic urge in von Trier's artistic psyche"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/4 "Ultimately, it's a tribute to the power of cinema."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman "It may have some powerful and disturbing moments, but it's otherwise too self-absorbed and pretentious in showing the viewer just how quirky and moving a film it thinks it really is."   Screen It!   Jim Judy "I thought the best part about it was the performance of Björk, and my critique is more positive than negative because of her."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 3/4 "The powerful, emotional music perfectly complements the dark, somber tone of the film."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 6/10 "Far from unwatchable, this provocative film is still haunting and irritating me days later, and that's probably the best reaction any artist could hope to elicit with his works."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 4/4 "A film like no other, and even if only to simply bear witness to such a bold, experimental work, it commands a viewing."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 5/5 "Even without the musical numbers, von Trier has given us a compelling story with original characters."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C– "The turgid soap opera of a plot reveals little of the human truths [it] presumably wants to uncover."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 3/4 "Björk is magic in the lead role. It is no wonder she won the best actress award at Cannes because of power and subtlety of her performance."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "A numbing, nearly three-hour musical."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 6/10 "It is not pleasing to watch, by any conceivable definition of that word."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 4/4 ""Dancer in the Dark" is an exciting and daring experiment in musical filmmaking."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell B Read review   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
