Reviews

spiff-12 Wow. This is a powerful drama. I group this with Volume 1 and say that most of the acting is pretty freaking amazing. Christian Slater's portrayal of Joe's father in the Hospital? It was chilling because it seemed so realistic. I've been bed side to that event...I know what it looks like. The calm at times...and uncontrolled panic the next.I had a feeling the ending may have been what it was. I have to not say too much but; it did wrap it up with a tragic irony.The movie draws upon advanced concepts within music, religion and art to converse at a brilliant level about metaphor transferable between each and how it relates to the story being told. Genius.There is some very graphic sexuality though I wouldn't consider it pornographic but more there for dramatic impact. As much as I loved this movie, if I had been even 10 years younger, I might not have been able to appreciate it as much as I did.

rubyrydinghood I saw many bad reviews for this movie and it's other Part. I loved it. If you're looking for porn, this isn't for you. While there are very explicit sex scenes, the movie is not really about the sex itself but about Joe, the nymphomaniac. It (Parts I and II) follows her from her first realization of her sexuality as a girl to the opening scene as she recounts her life as a sex addict. If you find very slow-paced, story-telling movies boring - you will not like this movie. If you like artsy, a bit weird, perhaps slow type indy films and you are okay with a lot of scenes of sex and genitalia AND some odd-fall references to Bach and fly-fishing, grab some wine and relax (probably not total relaxation. The movie is not the usual.) If you liked "Melancholia" - this has the same feel. This movie requires an open, enlightened mind. It's not for simple people.

Ishan Tripathi I watched this for more than 3 hours and the director screwed it all up in 1 minute. 3 effing hours to watch an ending that made me want to punch the director in his teethThe movie wasn't bad. Same as the first part, Volume 2 goes on with a lot of porn and short conversations between Joe and Seligman which were accompanied with a few of his nonsensical observations with symphonies in the background.I especially liked the father and all of his scenes and his thoughts. I disliked some internal love stories within the story which I thought were completely unnecessary. It is unclear whether Lars Von Trier is for or against feminism. The theme alternates between the two. The first volume clearly depicts Seligman as the acceptable part of the society and Joe, the nymphomaniac the other part. Towards the end of Volume 2 the movie draws a comparison between men and women and how the same actions of both genders elicit different responses from the society.Let's say the movie(both parts) was exactly 5 hours long. So at the end of 4 hours and 59 minutes, I was happy. There was a feeling of completion, even with all the porn and stupid observations. Everything fit in and made sense. Then, when it was time for credits, the director couldn't control his urge to ruin it all and does exactly that.It is alright if you don't want a happy ending. There could have been anything. Any effing thing. But Lars has got to end it with extreme bs. If only he had given 30 minutes to think about how he must end it, he would have come up with something better. I guess after making a 5 hour long movie, one must not have the energy left to think for a scene which is only one minute. Call it what you want, a bad ending will always be a bad ending.Also, I read some review regarding feces. It said even if you look at it as art, admire the colours and textures, it still remains feces. Why I agree with this is because some scenes, which may be art to some delusional fools, are nothing but gore. Some of them are disgusting. Rating - 5 because ending makes it a bad movie. I invested 5 long hours into this only to be disappointed in the end. P.S - I saw the Director's cut.

mac-33983 Both films touch on a subject that most people will never likely encounter. It is a psychological/philosophical/sociological drama that requires and open mind and an understanding that goes beyond typical social expectations.The sex scenes are crude, but they are complementary to the subject matter. This is not a film about porn or sex, it is about a condition that most people will fail to understand.The film(s) are refreshing in the sense that they are not mainstream or Hollywood, they attempt to put into perspective many subjects which society prefers to ignore..Not for the faint of heart but definitely worth watching.
