CommentsXp Best movie ever!

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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.

dilemmamuptelasi I have given a 4 but only for the sake of some acting that I could stumble upon in the movie. Apart from me being very nice and generous it was a terrible movie, in fact. 1. Not only does he try to inject some "intellectual" lines within the script but he also mentions a few problems of philosophy of mathematics which are not taken seriously any more (e.g. Zeno's Paradox)2. Philosophical references are pretty naive and fail to draw attention from those who at least have read one or two pages from philosophy, logic or mathematics.3. Although its cinematography is very weak and restricted Lars von Trier did not hesitate to make such a long movie, apparently. 4. Relatively weak script and absolutely weak cinematography, obviously, is not the best combination to make a long movie; it is just making it dull, boring and almost pointless. 5. What is the premise anyway? ---spoiler--- Why did she kill him though he was merely jerking off and why on earth would a man say something like "oh you f*cked thousands of men, so what?" when a gun is pointed towards his freaking face? ---spoiler---6. Frankly, I would like to see more butts, tits and pussies in a movie named "Nymphomaniac". But no. All we see are damn ugly cocks.

Ishan Tripathi I watched this for more than 3 hours and the director screwed it all up in 1 minute. 3 effing hours to watch an ending that made me want to punch the director in his teethThe movie wasn't bad. Same as the first part, Volume 2 goes on with a lot of porn and short conversations between Joe and Seligman which were accompanied with a few of his nonsensical observations with symphonies in the background.I especially liked the father and all of his scenes and his thoughts. I disliked some internal love stories within the story which I thought were completely unnecessary. It is unclear whether Lars Von Trier is for or against feminism. The theme alternates between the two. The first volume clearly depicts Seligman as the acceptable part of the society and Joe, the nymphomaniac the other part. Towards the end of Volume 2 the movie draws a comparison between men and women and how the same actions of both genders elicit different responses from the society.Let's say the movie(both parts) was exactly 5 hours long. So at the end of 4 hours and 59 minutes, I was happy. There was a feeling of completion, even with all the porn and stupid observations. Everything fit in and made sense. Then, when it was time for credits, the director couldn't control his urge to ruin it all and does exactly that.It is alright if you don't want a happy ending. There could have been anything. Any effing thing. But Lars has got to end it with extreme bs. If only he had given 30 minutes to think about how he must end it, he would have come up with something better. I guess after making a 5 hour long movie, one must not have the energy left to think for a scene which is only one minute. Call it what you want, a bad ending will always be a bad ending.Also, I read some review regarding feces. It said even if you look at it as art, admire the colours and textures, it still remains feces. Why I agree with this is because some scenes, which may be art to some delusional fools, are nothing but gore. Some of them are disgusting. Rating - 5 because ending makes it a bad movie. I invested 5 long hours into this only to be disappointed in the end. P.S - I saw the Director's cut.

Manhattan William I'm going to keep it straight to the point. Just when I thought, after vol. 1 that it couldn't get worse, along comes the nadir of blackness and utter hopelessness. I know Von Triers from "Dancer In The Dark", a film that I liked but found nearly unbearable to watch and only saw once and never want to see again. I recognize the talent, however, and braced myself for another helping. Little did I know what I was really in for. The bottom line is that these films depict a world inhabited by people that are desperately and hopelessly doomed. I've never seen such nihilistic portrayals in my life. I'm all for "realism" in films but I don't want to be thrown into the "real lives" of these people....no, no a thousand times no! Their world is so bleak and hopeless and devoid of any affection or warmth or light that it simply looses any sense to it. The lives of these people have not an iota of the elements that make living worthwhile so once that's realized, after about a minute, it becomes pure torture. I pride myself on my level of tolerance for the fetishes and idiosyncrasies that people have but sheer brutality is something that I know exists but care not to be thrown into in brutal graphic detail. These are the most bleak and depressing films ever made to my knowledge.
