thedarkknight-99999 This is the first Lars von Trier film I watch, and I can see why he is such a controversial film director. This is the most depressing and choking movies I've ever seen, but it's also one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. The using of metaphors and imagery in this movie is unbelievably great. everything begins to make sense towards the end so all the questions and confusion of the beginning makes sense. If you are patient enough and curious enough you will be greatly rewarded. The first act is the most enjoyable act in this movie. Trying to understand the metaphors, I felt like I was putting puzzle pieces and solving a very complicated mystery. The second act suffered at its beginning when the movie changed and became less sophisticated, and the message of the movie became on the nose. The movie picks up at the end of the second act, and seemed to be an intense sci-fi movie. Charlotte Gainsbourg was terrific in this movie. Kirsten Dunst gave her best performance in this movie. I don't like Kirsten Dunst but after watching this movie, I have a completely different opinion about her.Melancholia is pure cinema, and one of the most memorable experiences ever!(8.5/10)

mohamedomhat If we're going to rank the best lars von trier movies I'm sure this one will have his place in the top 5 hands down, the only thing that was really annoying while watching is that the camera was shaking more than usual and it was so unnecessary even if the scene wasn't very tense the camera just keeps shaking; but for sure this movie very deep and the music was just stunning by wagner; the movie is kinda complete.

Lin2050 Although this one isn't intended to be a "found footage", the effects are the same. The camera shakes wildly all the time, except during the introduction sequence. For some people (me included), this kind of movies could potentially damage their eye sights, and are unwatchable. The MPAA should really do something about this kind of movies, say, by requiring them to give a warning about intentionally shaky cameras.The movie itself is reasonably interesting, although certainly not in the league of the kind of art movies by Tarkovsky/Bergman/…. Unfortunately, I can't finish it for the reason mentioned above. (Tried three times)

sp_cooper-40341 The first time I only caught the end of the film and was mesmerised.Watched in full the next time, was confused and thought maybe pretentious, but thought there may be more.Just watched for the fourth time and realised just how beautiful this film is.The direction and cinematography is perfect and Charlotte Gainsbourg superb as the angst ridden sister, mother and wife.There are few films like this you want to watch again and again.
