Thought provoking with its dense and intense themes, Dogville highlights the best and the worst in us all; the emotions it agitates are hard to shake.July 30, 2007
This minimalist, digital-video-shot film has its own cinematic flash and thunder, and does things only movies can do.May 28, 2004
Fascinating for a while but, in the end, just sleep-inducing.May 02, 2007
After about an hour, the novelty wears off, and you're aching to see an actual animal and real shrubs. After two hours, you feel disappointed when you realize that this wouldn't even make a good play. After three hours, it's downright infuriating.April 29, 2009
[Director] Trier attempts to pass this off as art, when really it's just ridiculous.June 21, 2007
An exceptionally literary film that at the same time employs extremely theatrical set design. Leave it to the mad genius of Denmark to kick cinema's ass once again.September 26, 2005
For all of "Dogville's" strengths -- its powerful performances, the ingenious staging, how quickly and completely the audience accepts its stylized reality -- its take-home message is, ultimately, measly.June 03, 2008
These elements come together to form a movie that is clinically ironic but also unique, inspired, and quite sublime.May 13, 2004
It's a tough sit through tough questions.August 07, 2004
There's nothing static about [Von Trier's] technique, but everything else about the movie is dreary and closed off.January 26, 2006
Ambitious, intriguing but fatally self-important ...August 01, 2004
What Lars von Trier has achieved is avant-gardism for idiots.
