Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
adonis98-743-186503 A self-diagnosed nymphomaniac recounts her erotic experiences to the man who saved her after a beating. Nymphomaniac Vol. I is one of the very rare moments in my life where i find myself actually defending something like this and i will be honest i did liked the story as a whole and how it centers around this woman telling this man all her sexual stories plus i was caught off guard when i realised that the sex scenes were actually real (maybe a bit to real?) but it's a character study for the most part and it makes total sense to me why people hated it. (A+)
BA_Harrison A man, Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård), finds a woman, Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg), beaten and bruised in a snowy alleyway. He takes her to his grotty little apartment where she recounts her life story in which she cannot keep her knickers on for more than a few minutes.'Am I boring you?' asks sex addict Joe in the middle of Lars Von Trier's Nymph()maniac: Vol. I.Why yes… yes, you are, you tedious little bint, and so is everyone else in this pseudo-intellectual art-house porn flick aimed at chin-stroking perverts who want to be seen as cultured while getting their kicks.As you might have guessed, I loathed every single frame of this incredibly boring piece of pretentious X-rated garbage, and all those that made it possible. I hope that none of you ever work again. It's not that I'm averse to the odd spot of cinematic filth, only when it's as pompous and painfully prolonged as this film, which, together with Vol. 2, clocks in at well over four hours.I wonder how many people who paid to see this first volume actually bothered to go and see the next instalment. I'm guessing not many.
aelena_16 I found it more authentic then all the BS dramas the big H serves. For all the critics saying this is just porn, you clearly didn't understand the message, maybe you're not familiar with the struggle or plain ignorance. !Spoiler alert! It talks about the people who are daily rejected by society, the ones that do not fit in the narrow box of normality that we are given. It's not Hollywood drama, it's real life drama, but you are so brain washed you don't get the difference. Maybe watch it again, this time without checking your iPhone every other minute. Watch it everyday, until you realize why it's not a porn, and then write hateful reviews if you still think it's bad.
angelikivrv It is too controversial that half of the viewers rate it significantly low and some significantly high, looks like a reviews war and I chose my side.. I guess part of this situation is that people that have not seen other Trier's films might not understand the style neither the notion of his attitude as a director.It is a really artistic representation of a psychological disorder. It fits well with the depression trilogy and it would be good for viewers to watch all the three of them in sequence. The trilogy handles depression through various situations. Antichrist is depression with evil notes, Melancholia is depression via loss and management of this, Nymphomaniac is depression via one's disorder, and might be even more.Totally artistic, Charlotte is bau excellent, Uma one of the same, that is brilliant, I enjoy watching it. True, the content can be very explicit, but let's not joke, it is a provocative film with a great message, and people that hide hypocritically beneath ethics should not watch films that handle the inner state of the soul.
