The praise for this movie is baffling. The acting feels surface level, the character decision making makes NO sense, characters have interactions no human would ever have, and the plot is problematic and mundane. There is one scene that sticks with you but even that is not entirely brutal enough to make up for how much of a bore the rest of the movie is.
I found myself laughing how his OCD led to some of his actions, and how stupid some of the victims were.
I'm shocked at how many good actors can come together and make such a boring film.
My favorite serial killer movie that feels different & more real in it's exaggeration than your typical horror flick. I see something new everytime I watch it & even tho I'm not a fan of von Trier, I'm an advocate of this movie, a must see. There were walkouts several times at the festival premiere, & even tho protesters flagged PETA, the org supported the movie's authenticity. It's disturbing in the right ways that strike a conversation, groundbreaking in my book.
Good movie, it's not a conventional serial killer movie. Disturbing. Excelent cinematography
