Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This is a true brutal horror film, no fancy pants story that is garnished with stylistic CGI gore effects but a full-on splatter fest. The story centres around a Woman (Martina Ittenbach) who is in the process of breaking up with her dead beat husband. A divorce, or a DARD divorce yeah! She is seeing lawyers to gain custody of their two young kids but at the same time she wants to give the husband maybe a last shot of redemption. The first twenty minutes is just your set-up and character development as per usual, but after this the fun really starts. The gore in this movie is extreme to say the least, we are treated with severe torture, beatings, bloody and violent shoot outs, dismemberment and some really cheesy dialogue. Look I will admit this is no Goodfellas when it comes to acting, it doesn't pretend to be either. Martina Ittenbach does an okay job in my opinion and quite frankly I was really pulling for her during some oh her ordeals in this movie. Olaf Ittenbach is one of my favourite directors, a man who is a master with special effects that are both realistic and disgusting. The only drawback I will admit is the idiotic sound engineer who cranked up the music towards the end, drowning out important dialogue. If you are a fan of brutal horror and don't mind a cheesy yet fun story check out Dard Divorce, it is perfect for drunken horror nights or for freaking out your parents.

The first time I saw Dard Divorce, or should I say one of the gore sequences, i watched in absolute disbelief Having been brought up on horror classics like The Thing, the Saw series, Brain dead etc, I truly thought I had seen it all when it comes to goreIt's like there's gore films, extreme gore films and then there is Dard Divorce, it literally takes blood letting and sadistic violence to a whole other levelOther than that, the plot is ok, but the wife is seriously annoying, and I'm kinda glad she suffered, but here's the thing, she is like Rambo on steroidsSpoliers ahead:After having her face smashed to a pulp, her fingers and toes cut off she apparently has no pain or fear and gets angry instead....It's like WTF??? what she goes through would not only break ALL women, but most men as well, but all it does is make her angry and ask where her kids areOverall not bad for a amateur production, but strictly for the non discerning and gore hounds only

Well, I've met Olaf once at a convention, he signed stuff for free, guess what a nice person he is. And you can see him in his own flick walking on street, bouncing his wife. So far so good. It's a gory f lick but you will have to take the really awful acting. That they talk English with German accent I can take but Olaf's wife just can't act. For the story, it's okay but doesn't deliver any suspense or creepy moments. The effects used for the bloody parts is well done. But it is also a slow starter, you will go for 30 minutes into talking and guessing before the gore comes in. Some scene's are not for the feint hearted. I can understand that some will gave difficulty with the fact that children are being chainsawed. And this is surely one for the girls, there is full frontal male nudity. The bath scene is probably the goriest part and well done but as I said, it lacks a bit of keeping you attracted.

To start with, the only reason i have given this film a rating of 1 out of 10 is because 0 is not an option.This film simply must be the worst i have ever seen. The acting (and i use the term loosely) is just ridiculously pathetic; it is almost as though they are not trying. The main character wanders around the entire film almost devoid of any form of emotion, and her accent (apart from being annoying) is just unnecessary. Worst of all, this deficiency is accentuated by a detective who over-acts everything, thinking he is Horatio from CSI: Miami (who annoyingly also tends to over-act his part). Unfortunately, this is not the worst of it. Whoever wrote the story to this film ought to be shot; or at least banned from making films in the future. The story catapults itself from side to side, having characters draw unlikely and premature conclusions (e.g. the woman finds a note written in something red on the floor of her house, so she instantly calls 911 telling them it is a 'death threat', despite the note being written in a foreign language she doesn't understand). The writing is just lazy and amateurish, simply presenting the audience with facts about the characters as they are needed, rather than putting in the effort to actually establish a back-story. Furthermore, it does nothing to establish a steady flow or any level of individuality, simply treating the act of writing a screenplay as though you were baking a cake - monotonously, step by step. If you are so curious as to watch this abomination, pay particular attention to the opening scenes, where firstly, everything is told to the audience through narration, rather than spending the money to film some flashback scenes. Secondly, watch the introduction of characters - the two children enter perfectly one after another, so mechanically and unnatural (which reminds me of another point - why do the children not have accents? This just heightens the superfluity of the main character's). Finally, watch how the central concept of the divorce is introduced (through the narration)... listen... oh, all of a sudden she is a lawyer who uses all of her legal skill to keep her children... how convenient (and lazy, come on! Really? She's going through a legal battle so she just happens to be a lawyer?). Also, take note of the way it is introduced, you are just told - you don't see her in any way working as a lawyer; in fact for the first 20 mins you would swear she was nothing more than a house-wife (and to me the character appears as though she may struggle with the intellectuality of this alone, notwithstanding that of being a lawyer). This laziness on the writer's part just kills the entire story, for it makes it everything it attempts unbelievable. The only thing you may be able to give this film any sort of credit for is the gore and violence. However it takes this, the only thing going for it too far, making it become unbelievable and appear overwhelmingly fake.I must admit, I am actually left dumbfounded as to how such a film could have secured financing, and how the filmmakers could have picked themselves up off the floor from laughing so hard as to cut the final film together. This film ought to be studied in media courses around the world as an example of what not to do when making a film... Truly Pathetic!
