Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

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

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This movies tells the classic Grimm story of the Juniper tree, a story about a hateful woman with her daughter who comes to live with a good man and his son. The story is slightly adapted for this movie so it becomes less fairy tail and more movie. Filmed in stylish black and white it has a great atmosphereYes, this is a lovely movie but it would have been forgotten long ago if it wasn't for the presence of Bjork. It has all the charm of the Grimm fairy-tale combined with the magical Icelandic landscape, they fit together very well. The acting is however so-so, as are the dialogs and the imagery. Some shots are great but mostly it is very simpleAll in all it is a very entertaining movie, with the charm of (very) low-budget

The Juniper Tree is one of the grimmer of the classic folktales recorded by the Grimm brothers. This movie is a artfully rendered interpretation of that fairytale. Scandinavian films have a tendency towards a slower, subdued style and this movie is no exception. The grainy quality of the black and white images and that slower pace creates a dreamlike experience for the viewer that suits the plot well. I would not recommend this movie for everyone. It is not particularly scary or exciting. It is however a great movie for fans of surreal dramas. People who enjoy David Lynch and Lars Fontrier movies will probably enjoy The Juniper Tree.

Disturbing, but beautiful. I loved what this movie portrayed. I love bjork I wish she hadn't chosen to quit acting after "Dancer In The Dark." But I respect her decisions.

This movie was quite surprising in its quality and originality. It starts off slow but eventually starts to unravel and become a haunting tale of revenge and witchcraft. Bjork, who was absolutely mesmerizing in "Dancer in the Dark" is very strong in this film as well. She carries the movie as the vulnerable little sister who sees visions of her dead mother and reaches out to the little boy she is living with.
