New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottApr 4, 2014
It all adds up to weave an engaging story, and not just for its wealth of titillations. Many of the sex scenes, in fact, feel more clinical than anything else. Read full review

The problem with Nymphomaniac: Volume II lies not in its display of erect penises and reddened buttocks, but rather in its dull narrative and overworked ideas. Read full review

Portland OregonianMarc MohanApr 16, 2014
The scenes between Gainsbourg and Skarsgard are fewer and less engaging than in the first volume, and the dichotomy between them is simpler and more obvious.

Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovApr 2, 2014
Not an easy film to love and politically incorrect to the hilt, it nevertheless leaves its mark on you – and it’s rarely, if ever, dull. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliMar 27, 2014
A clear case of a narrative running out of steam. Exhaustingly repetitive, this movie attempts many of the same things its predecessor did but with less succes. Read full review
