GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Ben Larson Sex and violence is part of many families. The Orlando area, Florida, and the world have been captivated by it for three years now, and it hardly seems to be slowing down.But, one hardly knows what to expect when a film opens with a father having sex with his daughter, a prostitute. Soon, we see his son beating his mother, who is soon covered in welts. The son, himself is a target of violence, as bullies lob firecrackers and shoot roman candles into his bedroom.Miike (Audition, Ichi the Killer) stretches boundaries in his films, and he certainly stretches them here. This is a highly dysfunctional family, even more so that the one we have been exposed to over the past few years here. Oh, did I mention, mom is a junkie and a prostitute also.Enter Visitor Q. He really doesn't do anything (except for mom, and later the daughter), but his mere presence changes the family. This film has some of the most disgusting scenes, made intentionally humorous by Miike. I won't describe them except to say they include pretty much everything from necrophilia, scatophilia, incest, rape to murder. The film is not for the faint of heart.Miike gives us a dazzling display of existential psychosis that will have us wondering about the mysteries of life.

Jesvar These days are strange, I don't understand how many people enjoyed this kind of crap, just because someone films bizarre situations doesn't deserve to be called artistic. This film is shocking but fails in the way it tells you the story, "they were a flawed family but the strange visitor make them happy"... no seriously... lame argument to justify this film. Most people today wants to be extreme, watch films like this, trying to be cool, justifying films like this that are pure BS and calling it art, even with the "happy" ending this movie doesn't leave you with anything good but a irresponsible display of brutal thoughts turn into a movie. Finally I can say this movie confirmed something I thought a while ago, Gerardo Bloomerfield is a Mexican horror storyteller, for me the most shocking of his stories is "Abejorros", if you want to be shocked, read it, is in Spanish but you can translate with Google, I respect a lot of things, but seriously, the emotions that this kind of movies or stories put inside you are not worthy to be experimented, at least you are some twisted new age viewer willing to put interest in this kind of empty films. If you want some shocking experience watch "El Topo" from Jodorowsky, really good movie that follows a context, not just plain mental crap justified with a "happy" ending.

ebossert Takashi Miike is a director that is more thoughtful than most critics would like to believe. The reason for this is his use of violence and sexual content that for some viewers draws attention away from the underlying themes that permeate his filmography. There's no denying that, for example, "Ichi the Killer" (2001) has good scriptwriting and interesting characters, but at times it seems like viewers will completely ignore those elements. What results is a weird kind of false dichotomy where fans will like the film due to its "cool" violence and detractors will dislike the film for its "shallowness." Both reactions seem a bit short-sighted in my eyes. I highly recommend Tom Mes's book entitled "Agitator", which is an excellent resource that describes and summarizes all of the fascinating content in Miike's films.Most ironically, "Visitor Q" is in a situation that is the exact opposite of "Ichi the Killer" because this movie has poor scriptwriting and wafer thin characters, yet has received much praise for its "insightful commentary on family dynamics" or whatever. I'm not buying it, at all. If we look closely we recognize that Miike stoops to repeatedly using contrived solutions to get characters from Point A (family dysfunction) to Point B (family function) without ever bothering to establish a convincing development of their relationships with each other. What results is a thoughtless film that portrays a sense of faux intelligence by using a few simplistic symbols.Let's take a look at some of the family members to see just how lazily Miike utilizes his contrived plot device: Visitor Q.DAUGHTER: An easy place to start, because there's virtually no development of her character whatsoever. She's likely a prostitute due to the general dysfunction of the family, but how does she break free from her current existence and re-enter the family dynamic? Visitor Q hits her in the head with a slab of concrete (off screen). I really can't think of a lazier, more contrived way of getting a character from Point A to Point B. Taking into consideration the fact that this artificial "solution" is invoked during the last five minutes only adds more evidence that Miike just wanted to finish the film.MOTHER and SON: I group these two together because both are connected by a simplistic symbol: breast milk. Yes Miike, I understand your use of breast milk as a representation of maternal instinct, and it is slightly clever – but only slightly. The son is bullied by his peers and takes it out on his mother by beating her. She takes the beating without putting up a fight because – well – we never know. In any case, the son really beats the stuffing out of her, abusing her on a nightly basis. What could possibly be the solution to this grim situation? Easy, Visitor Q milks her breasts! You see, once her nipples start spilling milk she becomes at one with her maternal instinct. Her son later bathes in the milk and he becomes at one with his instincts as a child. Their relationship is returned to a healthy one. Like I said, slightly clever, but Miike is unfortunately content with keeping this theme (which has enough substance to fill maybe 30 seconds of runtime) in an undeveloped embryonic state throughout this 84-minute film. He just milks it to death. FATHER: Although the daughter is the shallowest character, the father is easily the most muddled and poorly written. To be frank, the scriptwriting behind his actions is a complete mess. This is evident when reading the "Visitor Q" chapter in Tom Mes's aforementioned book. Usually Mes is very convincing in his analysis, but in this case it's obvious that he's reaching desperately to find some kind of logic behind this character's actions. He's apparently a bad father because of some kind of sexual impotence that prevents him from confidently taking his role in the family, but he has no problems banging his daughter at the beginning of the film so that angle makes no sense. Mes posits that his lustful desire for the corpse near the end of the film is the breakthrough moment (again referencing impotence), but it's a seemingly random revelation that has absolutely nothing to do with his role as a father or husband. How does having sex with a corpse change his relationship with his living wife? It makes no freakin' sense.The contrived nature of this film is also inadvertently pointed out by Mes when talking about the previous scene where the father watches his son get bullied with his colleague (a reference to his failure as a businessman). The father seems to have a real desire to have someone interject and save his son, which is different from previous scenes. Why does he feel this way? Well, because Visitor Q is holding the camcorder this time around. My friends, it doesn't get much more contrived than that.In a general sense I can appreciate the premise of portraying family values using themes that are typically considered exploitative (e.g., necrophelia, incest, etc.), but merely stitching these things together with contrived solutions doesn't qualify as quality filmmaking. Some might choose to defend the artificiality of this movie by stating that it's an intentional device used to provoke laughter, but if that's the case then the assertion of "insightful commentary on family dynamics" is thrown right out the window.If you want an effective blend of controversial sexual themes and dramatic elements, check out "Antenna" (2004), "Ichi the Killer" (2001), "Strange Circus" (2005), or "Moonlight Whispers" (1999). If you want good movies about dysfunctional families, check out "Tokyo Sonata" (2008), "Funuke Show Me Some Love, You Losers" (2007), "Rendan" (2001), or "Harmful Insect" (2001).

BA_Harrison Meet the Yamazakis: father Kiyoshi, a failed TV reporter, is diddling his sexy prostitute daughter Miki; disturbed teenage son Takuya is being bullied at school, but dishes out the violence at home; and mum Keiko is turning tricks to fund her drugs habit.Into this extremely dysfunctional family unit comes a strange visitor who brings peace and harmony to the household through the power of lactation.Even by Takashi Miike's standards, Visitor Q is one hell of a weird ride, and is undoubtedly the director's most outrageous work to date (and considering this is the same guy who gave us Ichi the Killer, Gozu and Audition, that is really saying something!).From its opening sex scene between Kiyoshi and Miki (which narrowly avoids being overly explicit thanks to some judicious blurring) to the breast milk drenched finalé, this deranged shot on DV feature presents enough sex and violence for the most depraved of film fans, and even manages to answer that age old question "What should I do if I get my penis trapped inside a dead woman's vagina?'.Exactly what message Miike is trying to convey with this film is anyone's guess, but for wall-to-wall deviancy, you'll be hard pushed to find anything better (or should that be 'worse'?).I give Visitor Q a rating of 8 out of 10 purely for it's ability to render even the most jaded of viewers speechless.
