This long, sometimes hard-to-watch movie is a challenge, but it has authority and raw power.
For this mortal, the film converts piety into pathology and then converts it back again at the end with a Song of Bernadette conclusion. I don't know what the title means. I do know that this ridiculous film won the Grand Jury Prize at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.[ Dec. 9, 1996]

Unforgettable masterpiece with a masterclass perfomance by Emily Watson as Bess McNeill.

Emotionally, the film is devastating, and it is certainly not a cheery movie. The performances are rich and deep, Emily Watson is amazing. I was a bit disappointed in the ending however, but it is a very well crafted film.

at first, the movie is strange, and it stays that way till the end. but as simple as it seems, the mindset behind it and what von trier sees in people, makes you more human and gets you thinking and maybe crying at the same time. prepare for a non-traditional romantic drama to watch.

Despite Emily Watson's masterful acting, here's a pretentious and not a ambitious film.

Deadly boring. Give me back my 150 minutes. Total waste of time. I will never understand why people are so fascinated by these artsy craps. My eyes still hurt because of the pixeling..
