Dancer in the Dark movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News: Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Strange, cerebral, immensely interesting and weirdly, thoroughly distancing, Dancer in the Dark is a movie like they used to make 'em. Read more
Charles Ealy, Dallas Morning News: It's a carefully crafted provocation that both undermines and expands the notion of what makes a movie musical. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Come to the theater prepared, with a handkerchief in one hand and a rotten tomato in the other. Read more
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: [Von Trier] manages to generate big emotions out of meager material, mainly thanks to the performances he gets from his actors. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: So exasperating in its contradictions, so frustrating in its fakery, so deeply irritating in its pretensions, it's frankly hard to know where to begin to dissect it. Read more
Paul Tatara, CNN.com: This movie, for all its flaws, is a unique journey, and needs to be experienced rather than explained. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Graced with a particular genius for absorbing the past to suggest an exciting cinematic future. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: At least Dancer in the Dark is bad in a complicated way. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: Selma asks for so little, complains so seldom, and is in such perpetual denial about her problems that I find her virtually indigestible as a character. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: It's not just that the numbers are berserkly bad; they also don't seem to have any emotional connection to this bedraggled, Dickensian waif. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: A thought-provoking, emotionally resonant, and innovative cinematic experience. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: It smashes down the walls of habit that surround so many movies. It returns to the wellsprings. It is a bold, reckless gesture. Read more
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle: It's great to see a movie so courageous and affecting, so committed to its own differentness. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: The crazy thing is that, sarcastic as Dancer is, it actually works as an anti-capital- punishment tract. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Like the movie created around her, [Bjork is] nothing short of hypnotic. Read more
