Be prepared for a heavy movie experience if you're going to watch this movie. Don't get me wrong. It was excellently directed, and all of the actors were fantastic, it's just seriously depressing. It's one of those movies that you see, and the power of it lingers with you for days...

One of the most heartwrenching, but wonderful, movies I've ever seen. Took me a couple hours to stop crying after it ended, but it was worth it.

It's so wrong its good. I've never in my life had such a wet shirt from the drippings that fall that last half hour or so. I'm disappointed in the ZERO stars simply because of the camera work. I loved the camera work. Lars is such a chancy director and it pays off. Like Dogville, DITD has that "No no no thats so wrong but so right" feel. His ending are beautiful. He hits human characteristics in such a unique way... the ones you often forget about.

Bjork is obviously very talented and cute, but the movie was very stressful to watch, never knowing which bizarre musical/dancing or murder would pop up. Very depressing.

It's a tell of a woman from another country in the US. Basically she gets screwed because she's so nice. It's very very gruesome and depressing. If you want to watch something even remotely fun DO ...

I would never have guessed that Bjork had it in her to act, especially as well as she did in "Dancer in the Dark." This is probably one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. The movie takes a completely unexpected turn about half way through, where it goes from "Hello, I'm driving Miss Daisy, la-la-la" to "STOP THE CAR AND LET ME OUT NOW!!!", and it doesn't stop until the end. Some may not like the musical numbers, but it's worth it.

I don't really know what compelled me to watch this movie to the end. The story was so heavy and the filming not good. I must say the actors were good. The strong friendships in this movie was heartwarming though. If you can handle the very sad aspects of this movie there are some redeeming story lines.
