"Although Melancholia, by its very title, declares a mournful state of mind, the movie is, in fact, the work of a man whose slow emergence from personal crisis has resulted in a moving masterpiece, marked by an astonishing profundity of vision."
- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
"Melancholia is a remarkable mood piece with visuals to die for (excuse the pun), and a performance from Dunst that runs the color spectrum of emotions."
- Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
"A masterwork of grandeur, millennial angst and high romantic style, 'Melancholia' takes themes that have marked the best films of 2011 and spins them into a blast of cosmic sparkle dust."
- Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
"A SPECTACLE IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN AWAY FROM.A MONUMENTALLY AMBITIOUS MOVIE. When I left the theatre, I felt light, rejuvenated and unconscionably happy."
- J. Hoberman, Village Voice
"A FILM THAT SWEEPS YOU UP AND TAKES YOU OUT OF YOURSELF with haunting themes expressed by gorgeous images, and a superlative performance by Kirsten Dunst. Sitting there watching pictures charged with strange poignancy, I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAPPIER."
- Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

"Von Trier, who has always been a provocateur, is driven to confront and shake his audience more than any other serious filmmaker -- even Bunuel and Herzog."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"A troubling but refreshing sense of an artist uncloaked. A violent conflict of ideas and images. Any satisfaction from loose ends tied and questions answered? Forget it. It's just not that sort of film."
- Dave Calhoun, Time Out
"To watch the Danish provocateur's new film is to experience unrelenting pain, shading into revulsion, while being inspired by his virtuoso command of the medium and sharp intelligence."
- Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"If Ingmar Bergman had committed suicide, gone to hell, and come back to earth to direct an exploitation/art film for drive-ins, [Antichrist] is the movie he would have made."
- John Waters
