ThiefHott Too much of everything

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

dejavuwray Lars von Trier has done it again,,ie bring psychologically fkd up people into mainstream cinema,,and I thank him for that! Antichrist was fantastic,,and for those patient enough to watch pts 1 & 2 of this odyssey,you will be rewarded with an ending that wraps everything up beautifully. YES there is graphic sex,but without it,it wouldn't have made as much sense,,it's about time that directors treated us as adults,if we can handle graphic violence (which you Americans think is OK) then equally we can deal with viewing something natural to each and every one of us!!! Great movie x

sevikukac The Nymphomaniac is a story. It is graphic, but it gives a lot to think about in just the first 40 minutes. I am very picky about movies. I don't watch porn. This is rather an intellectual trip. On the surface it is not a conservative mind's cup of tea, but on the inside it is not about making a fuss. I love that it's lengthy, it gives time to process, because there is a lot going on. I will surely re-watch it to understand it more.There are a lot of disturbing scenes I simply could not watch as I am a sensitive woman, especially the ending. I am not a character like her, but her story is relatable. I loved the beginning, which fed my mind, and the lengthy scene about the wife. Most movies just shorten those embarassing moments, cut, cut, cut. No! Those are lives of people. People are miserable, when they love somebody and lose him/her, and this movie truely shows it, at least that scene. I like that it is so detailed and full of tension and stress.I would totally recommend for those, who are open-minded, liberal and free, but like thinking.

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.

dsaillant811 Nymphomaniac Parts I and II are collectively the final installments of Lars von Trier's "Depression Trilogy," preceded by Antichrist ( a film that frequently makes lists of the top 10 most disturbing films ever) and Melancholia (one of very few films that has shocked and saddened me to the core). Considering the artistic mastery of Antichrist and Melancholia, it shocks me that Nymphomaniac comes off as nothing more than a sloppy, messy attempt at turning nymphomania into some sort of deep philosophical head trip.The basic plot of the film revolves around Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourgh), who tells her life story to Stellan Skarsgard's character as it pertains to her unhealthy obsession with sex. The film attempts to draw some deep parallels and connections between Gainsbourgh's story and Skarsgard's love of fishing, but fails miserably. The metaphors are horrifically clunky, the dialogue is weak, the acting is average to mediocre (especially from this cast that made me cry in the previous two films), and the editing is hideous and nonsensical.Lars von Trier is one of my favorite directors ever, so it shocks me that this film is so poorly put together. It's awkward, boring, overly long porn with a story and performances only marginally better than the X-rated smut you might find on PornHub. 3/10, and I'm being generous.
