"A JOYOUS WORK OF, FLAT-OUT GENIUS."
"A MESMERIZING MIND GAME."
"OFTEN BRILLIANT AND NEVER SIMPLE-MINDED OR DULL"
"A magnum opus."
"A PROVOCATION WORTH TALKING ABOUT. An obsessive, violent, and at times remarkably eccentric sex epic that is often brilliant and never simple-minded or dull. It remains formidable throughout its four-hour length and demanding to think about afterward."
"A JOYOUS WORK OF FLAT-OUT GENIUS. It’s a blast, full of life and energy and ideas and humor and sexy naked bodies."
"IT’S EASY, AND SO VERY TEMPTING, TO DISMISS LARS VON TRIER AS A JOKE - IF ONLY HIS MOVIES WEREN’T SO BLOODY BRILLIANT. What’s most disquieting is how funny, tender, thoughtful, and truthful it is. THERE ARE MOMENTS THAT PROMPT SOMETHING CLOSE TO AWE."
"IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO DISMISS VON TRIER AS MERELY A HYPE-MONGER. He’s too damnably good a filmmaker for that. Watching “Nymphomaniac” is to be reminded of his superb skills in creating vivid worlds and characters on screen."
"IT’S A THRILLING, UPROARIOUS VISUAL AND INTELLECTUAL JOURNEY that surely will not please every viewer, but along the way breaks free of all established notions about what a respectable movie is and how it’s supposed to behave. Von Trier creates episodes of brilliant verbal repartee, ludicrous slapstick comedy and piercing emotional power, often overlapping."
"Lars von Trier understands the art and craft of making movies, the power the form is capable of combined with the skill to achieve it, about as well as anyone working in the world today. The film provides a shifting variety of insights, emotions, unexpected lightness and moments of visceral shock."
"A MESMERIZING MIND GAME."
"A TANTALIZING, OCCASIONALLY FUNNY, DEEPLY NEUROTIC MEMOIR OF A WOMAN OF PLEASURE."
"YOU’RE UNLIKELY TO TURN AWAY."
"A WILD, SPRAWLING ORGY OF THE SUBLIME AND THE RIDICULOUS."
"WHO NEEDS 50 SHADES OF GREY WHEN YOU’VE GOT LARS VON TRIER? A provocative, nuanced and even empathetic account of one woman’s attempts to understand and perhaps reconcile the factors that are bound up in sex. IT’S THE WORK OF A FLAMBOYANT SALESMAN AND A MAJOR ARTIST."
"A FEROCIOUSLY ENTERTAINING MAGNUM OPUS. A SHAPE-SHIFTING, CARNAL AND INTELLECTUAL THRILL RIDE OF A MOVIE. A veritable Brandenburg Concerto of disparate genres and moods masterfully blended into a seamless whole."
"HILARIOUS, VISUALLY ARRESTING AND INTENSE."
"If it weren't for the explicit sexual encounters, this could be an Ibsen or a Strindberg play."
"IT’S A BIG, OPEN FILM, one that finds von Trier prankish and, at times, disarmingly sincere."
"The foundation of the film is a lengthy conversation that wouldn’t be out of place in a Bergman film. VonTrier is on his game here. Gainsbourg and Skarsgård are splendid."
"Von Trier does a masterful job of presenting Joe's life as dominated by and, in large parts, electrified by sex."
"INDECENTLY SMART AND PROVOCATIVE. Like an issue of Playboy you read for the smut and the articles."
"Filthy, often funny, and kind of fabulous."
"Hang on to your seat back, your Bible, or the hand of a friend. Nymphomaniacravishes the brain and leaves you begging for more."
"VON TRIER’S BEST FILM IN OVER 20 YEARS. (Vol 1)"
"CONSIDER ME SEDUCED."
"THRILLING. A MAGNUM OPUS."
"Gainsbourg and Skarsgård are splendid."
"Wickedly funny"
" Fascinating."
"An intellectual high-wire act, death-defying, dangerous, entertaining, and delighting in its own inventiveness and daring."
"Funny, tender, thoughtful, and truthful."
"PROVOCATIVE, FUNNY, SMART, WRY AND CHALLENGING. A remarkable project brimming with bold performances."
"Charlotte Gainsbourg in the most raw and intense performance of the year."
"Entrancing."
"Smutty, nutty and fearless."
