"It's more than clear what a goof this all is, and a curiously happy one at that."  Film Journal International  Chris Barsanti

3/5
"the man couldn't make a simple movie if he was handed the blueprints."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

C+
"At ten minutes too long, "The Boss of It All" is Lars Von Trier poking fun at himself and the corporate veil that mystifies all those that attempt to defeat it."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

3/4
"Von Trier is using irrational modes of expression to comment not only on his own modus operandi as a moralist and a filmmaker but the enterprise of making movies and directing actors in them."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

2/5
"von Trier is just too self-absorbed a filmmaker, too much "the boss of it all" to allow for anything as anarchic and joyful as a screwball comedy to bloom from this material"  Boxoffice Magazine  Jay Antani

2/5
"A collector's item for Trier fans, that doesn't add up to much of anything for the rest of us."  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

57/100
"You gotta give it to Lars, clever bastard, he makes it almost impossible to hold his perceived failings against him!"  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

2.5/4
"Cynical, misanthropic and embittered. Von Trier delivers some rueful, strangled laughs, most driven by the simmering guerrilla war between employees and management."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

2/5
"At the beginning of his latest work, "The Boss Of It All," writer-director Lars Von Trier appears via voice-over to assure us that the film we are about to see "won't be worth a moment's reflection" and then spends the next 90-odd minutes making sure that"  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

4/5
"Witty and sharp from start to finish"  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

B-
"What begins as an elaborate theater game turns into a screwball parody of sentimental comedies..."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker
