The director's cut is just holy fucking shit. 13/10 - IGN

Lars... Lars ... Lars.. I don't find this hard to watch as it is to watch the reflection from the mirror Lars places in front of us

I almost didn't watch Vol 2 after watching this Vol 1, Vol 1 was so slow and boring and crude/lude just for the sake of it. But honestly just fast forward through (get the gist of it) then watch Vol 2, it's a much better film, with real in depth thought provoking ideas.

This movie definitely got me by surprise. It had much more deeper meaning and value to it, than what I was expecting going into it. Im curious where volume 2 leads us.

I inflicted myself the extended cut of this film, where Charlotte Gainsbourg, who already had to mutilate her clitoris in “Antichrist”, further wears off her bajingo as she confesses her past as a sex addict to the asexual character portrayed by Stellan Skarsgard. Obviously, the narrative is a mere excuse to play with moral taboos and continuously digress into intellectual talk, often accompanied by explanatory graphics and archive footage as the two protagonists draw the most absurd parallels. Some of the dialogue is genuinely compelling, while some others are clearly the director trolling his audience in an attempt of mocking the empty intellectualism of critics.

The standout episode, perhaps, is the Mrs. H storyline, which manages to amuse without relying on graphic sexual content.

The idea of filming an uncompromising porn movie is intriguing, especially considering that the experience is as arousing as watching the butcher lining up veal cuts on the counter. However, it’s a pity that they had to use body doubles and props for the sex scenes. The true challenge would have been to have porn actors act decently, or to convince Hollywood stars to fully commit to the material.

First hour is ok and has some mildly amusing moments but soon becomes a pretentious grind that nobody can relate to or care about. The hardcore scenes are really annoying to.

Best I can say is it’s not as bad as Dogville. But not much is.

4/10 - being generous

(This comment is for the combined volumes 1 & 2. I'll copy/paste this comment for both films)

Wow, what a great movie.
(...although, it is worth mentioning that I CANNOT recommend this movie for the 'average' movie watcher)

My favorite Lars von Trier movie (to-date), beating out Anti-Christ; my previous favorite. I won't say too much here, for fear of spoiling things (even with the spoiler filter on). Despite the length of the film(s), I found that it was still captivating and enthralling. I'm almost sad to see it end, to be honest. I have mixed feelings about the ending (which I'll refrain from commenting about). A great movie, that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Also worth noting/warning... there are scenes of full penetration, and gratuitous/graphic nudity. None of this is new for a Lars von Trier movie, and given that the title of the movie is "Nymphomaniac", you certainly shouldn't be surprised by it. Basically, Lars doesn't hold back (LoL).

The scene with M was the best part of this entire film. The rest was meh at best.

Childish erotic diary with often pretentious dialogue, and sometimes presented as art. Frankly most of the dialogue it bollocks. Nothing interesting or creative here. No not even the correlation between fishing and slags after penis. Not even the maths on screen. Maybe it's clever to a year one art student but to anyone else it's titillation. Pointless movie. And what a terrible main character. Couldn't she had just died of a disease ten minutes in?
Playing Dmitri Shostakovich- The Second Waltz, whilst pointing to Glasgow on a map whilst rubbing a vagina, is the level of art to be expected. In fact putting classical music over any weird visual makes it art right? Why not play that Dmitri song again, but this time over photos of dicks whilst the whore protagonist narrates about the plethora of picks she's had? Yeah that happens to. Picture of Bach and some maths? Why not.

Great and wired movie , makes me super uncomfortable

A MASTERPIECE! Thank you, Lars von Trier! This is a rollercoaster through the deepest depth and the highest highs. This is what cinema is made for. Unmatched!
