"Anyone else seen this? Its one of the most beautiful, tragic movies I've ever seen. Plus its a Dogma 95 film meaning no artificial light, sound or music. Also no big name actors, no special costumes or makeup, and if I remember correctly, no 2nd takes. I'm not sure that it exactly follows all of those tenets, but its amazing that Lars Von Trier was able to create such a masterpiece with so little. Its such a natural, pure way of making a movie. "

"An empathic and submersive journey that questions mental health and dogma. Like many Lars von trier movies you cant get an immediate beat on characters, and you are both skeptical and a little confused ar firsr. I like that feeling, since it makes it as if you grow to know these characters while watching the movie. And then of course these characters you end up caring about get thrown into circumstances that make you really feel for them"
