This film creates its own compelling world, where inital goofy comedy hurtles toward a tragedy that seems both futile and inevitable. Stylized and thought-provoking, obvious and oblique. See it and decide for yourself.

Horrible. What's wrong with Trier these days. Sad, sad.

As a Dane I'm ashamed of and embarrassed about Van Trier's latest films. His critic of a country he's never even visited is to me unfathomable. I believe there's a word for it - ignorance.

I have to strongly disagree with many of the film critics - I saw this film at the Toronto Film Fest and thought it was absolutely great! Please ignore the critics and see it.

This movie is very interesting. The imaginative world that these guys create is just as real as the imaginary world that NRA types create for themselves, but much funner. The end invalidates any negative feelings toward the rest of the film.

Although I often look to the critics for their opinion of a film in this case they are seriously incorrect in their evaluation of Dear Wendy. This is a brilliant satire written by Lars Von Trier who examines how idealism can go wrong.

Vinterberg again demonstrates his under-used directing ability and crafts a film that matches the quality of The Celebration. Make your own decision and see this movie.… Expand

Ignore the critics. A well-made and original film that locates the humanity in the gun culture without ever letting us of the hook for starting more trouble than we solve by letting the fear fixate us on "protection". It is a fable, in the Ignore the critics. A well-made and original film that locates the humanity in the gun culture without ever letting us of the hook for starting more trouble than we solve by letting the fear fixate us on "protection". It is a fable, in the sense that it takes place in a contained universe with it's own rules, but that universe is pretty recognizable to anyone who grew up in a small town. Van Trier may be a foreigner, but he gets the fears and hurts and myths that we grapple with, and how they can play out in a kind of societal madness that leads to classical tragedy. Highly recommended.… Expand
