Quicktime
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B
"(Director Lars) Von Trier may not be completely right. But he certainly isn't all wrong."
Austin American-Statesman: 1 of 5 stars
"... dramatically inert, a turgid intellectual exercise that numbs."
The Palm Beach Post: D
"... filmed on a staunchly artificial sound stage set, with locations indicated by painted lines and labels. This focuses our attention on the dialogue, a strategy that is not to (director Lars) Von Trier's advantage."
