Brent G @bgillett86 Mar 9 Lars von Trier needs a hug. Someone hug that man, now. See more Leonardo R. @leitox76 Mar 8 Too slow to this kind of gender See more Blaine G @weenuk Mar 4 painfully slow one of the worst movies i have ever tried to watch i could not finish it See more George W @georgeblaise Mar 3 A fairly good film with one of the most laugh out-loud hysterically funny endings in the history of cinema. I doubt it was intended to be amusing but the ending is hilarious. See more Gregory N @GregoryMN Mar 2 Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg are luminescent, but not the characters they play. If the world ends and takes the whiny Justine with it, then there's something positive about the ending. Needless to say, it all must be some sort of metaphor, because the science is impossible. "Sometimes, I just hate you so much, Justine." See more Joseph G @LicenseToChivalry007 Feb 27 Let's be clear, this is a quintessential Lars von Trier film. It's a niche film meant for an audience who appreciates films like this. I am one of those people, but this film is still a must-see. Kirsten Dunst's performance in Melancholia was the key to the movie's success. Her portrayal of Justine, a depressed, grieving bride who, while at times a mess and dependent on the approval of others. Surrounded by a stern mother and a womanizing father, Justine searches for meaning and purpose while the world around her slowly unravels. Dunst never misses a beat, and her quiet self-awareness in the face of impending doom deepens the character’s development. She’s flawed and fragile, but those are often the most memorable characters.
