Sorry, this movie sucks

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Part of the reason I watched this was because I was so completely captivated by Dancer In the Dark. In fact, that movie has long held a place in my top ten favorites of all time. I am also a fan of disjointed movies that employ ambiance and subtle moods to elevate themselves to the level of art. For some reason, this movie just didn't click with me. I may be missing something, but my feelings about this film stand as equal and opposite to my feelings about Dancer In the Dark.The deficit, as I saw it, was not due to Björk's acting, and it would delight me to see her take on more cinematic projects.

It was 2 weeks before my birthday. I was looking for possible gifts then I stumbled across this film and I was intrigued. It arrived on my birthday and I was over the moon. The first five minutes were interesting, then when the film progressed it became very interesting. Björk was wondrous as the role of Margit, the other actors not as much, but still good.Now being a fan of Björk, here comes my Björk rant. After watching this I had to listen to Vespertine (one of her best albums) and then Medúlla (her best album.) If you enjoyed this film I suggest you check out Dancer in the Dark and the albums Medúlla, Vespertine and Homogenic.

This is a truly beautiful movie!I'm a movie maniac AND also a big Björk fan. I got to know this movie only through Björk but I think that it's really great.The movie really feels like a fairytale (it is based on one). The feeling of it is just fantastic, the black & white creates a special atmosphere and I love the actors, not only Björk is grandiose in it! The unique Icelandic accent makes it very special to me (I'm Austrian). The story is VERY sad but at an extreme high artistic level I never expected from this little pearl.It is it really worth to buy it on DVD.Do it even if you like only Björk! You won't regret it. Björk is simply fantastic in it. She creates a huge part of the offered atmosphere. Support this movie, it's a masterpiece and I don't know anything similar to it's unique style.It's not only a fairytale, it's more... enjoy it!And something else: You can hear Björk singing even pretty often in the movie, one more reason to get it!I gave it 9/10 here on IMDb. It's a pity it isn't well-known.If you want to see one the best movies ever check out Dancer in the Dark (WITH BJÖRK). That one is probably the saddest movie I've ever seen. It's HEART RIPPING, so watch out. I think this is the only movie ever that me cry. Lars von Trier created with Dancer in the Dark such a great masterpiece it's nearly unbelievable. And I tell you, that one is really hard and worth gold.Hey, if you enjoyed Juniper Tree and like Björk, let me know please!

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.
