Bardlerx Strictly average movie

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

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

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Matthew Cageman I saw the film last night on TV, but have been wanting to rent it for the last 5 years, but never did. The story reminded me a bit of Rainman, but being a Dogma movie gave it it's special charm.Especially the isolation of the location on an island and the harshness of living on such an isolated farm were brought over very well by the dogma principle of using only natural light. I thought the acting of Iben Hjejle was fantastic as the prostitute who is on a crossroad in her life and has to find out which road to take. The other characters (except for Kresten's wife)are also played very believable. The only thing that bothers me is the overacting. Dogma pretends to be as close to reality as possible, but i cannot believe that in Denmark, when there is a small disagreement, everybody starts to scream at each other in such an overdone way. Still it remains a good, entertaining movie, so watch it!!

xmichalis I had already watched several Dogma-films but this one made me really feel both nice and somehow optimistic.Firstly, Hjejle performs a supremely touching and realistic acting,taking into account how difficult her role is.Honestly,i never saw such an elegant woman playing a disadvantaged role like the particular one. Actually,all cast is excellent.I'm getting highly excited as i realise the fact that such dramatic stories turn into happy-ends in real life too! A very significant picture...

jozsefbiro A movie by Soren Kragh-Jacobsen. The third movie directed according to the principles of Dogma95. A touching story that I particularly liked: about a carreerist who suddenly realizes that his idea of leaving his wretched family behind and starting a new life is wrong, about a hooker who is trying to escape from the harrassing phone calls by an aberrant and their brothers who are also miserable and helpless. As the story develops these people manage to realize that even though they cannot change the harshness of their life, relying on each other's empathy and love can make things easier. As the hooker says at one point (no guarantee on the exact words): "Life is s*** and you will taste it with large spoons every day, but this is not an excuse to hurt the ones who are close to you". The happy ending suggests that there is hope for these people: I would be inclined to believe so...

El Cookie Monsta I was looking forward to this film as being a fresh and interesting piece of modern cinema. I was disappointed, it was complete rubbish. Reasons for my comment would be: annoying characters, dire script and boring direction. I may be wrong with this evaluation, I doubt it, but this my opinion.
