Dillon is really good, but the super pretentious meta stuff in-between the incidents was execrable. Trier really ought to leave the writing to other people instead of wasting his considerable talents as a director on his own lousy scripts.

A meta-diary or cinematic autobiography that summarizes von Trier's artistic yearnings, desires, and disappointments. Just like his oeuvre, this one oscillates between shallow philosophizing of playful narratives and the profound agonies of the search for the eternal (hence the "house"). I liked the fact that von Trier can be this honest and controversial in an age of political and aesthetic correctness. One of the best movies of 2018.

My favorite non-Riget von Trier. I enjoyed this because of the humor, but for so many of you who take von Trier seriously and think he makes genius social/psychological commentary... if he was American you would not have the same opinion.

Probably the first von Trier film where his critics' usual arguments totally click with me: this is glib, dull, pretentious, nihilistic, misogynist (and no, Lars, acknowledging it doesn't excuse it), and irritatingly navel-gazing. It doesn't even have the strong performances or visual interest that I've always been able to rely on even at my most skeptical moments. It's not scary, it's not funny (even though it tries) and, worst of all, it's not compelling or interesting in the slightest.

Difficult to rate, sometimes it seems almost genius, but this is somewhat overruled by pretentiousness. There are some pretty hardcore scenes which made me feel uncomfortable while watching it on an airplane with kids behind me, luring at my screen while Dillon is cutting off boobs.

A kind reminder to never walk out on films because all the childishness and silliness here is fabulously contextualised by a stunning epilogue sequence that takes a thoroughly internal look within ourselves and the world through some astonishingly artful mise en scene. But before all that, we are treated to some hilarious and intense "incidents", all the while not-so-subtly highlighting the ubiquity of modern apathy (a la American Psycho), but a slap across the nuts can never be subtle.

I have it on good authority that everytime there's a walkout at one of his movies, von Trier jizzes in his pants. If you can look past that image however, this is a fairly engaging (if fairly revolting) thriller, gory enough for the grindhouse and pretentious enough for the arthouse.

About a serial killer who starts out with a touch of Harry Caul but then gets into the swing of it. Seems above all to be a playful self-reflection on the hubris, narcissism, obsessionality, futility and amorality of artistic endeavour. Bearing some similarities to NYMPHOMANIAC, with edifying digressions and parables on the paradoxes of morality, this doesn't reach the same heights, perhaps because addiction to murder isn't as compelling as addiction to sex, but still provides plenty of nuggets.

So much of this is among von Trier’s best work, with incredible tension, an amazing performance from Dillon, some beautiful shots, and an epilogue that’s close to perfection. But the conversations in between the incidents are so goddamn pretentious, the violence does sometimes get TOO gratuitous (although Mr. Grumpy, perhaps the worst thing, is also one of the film’s most breathtaking images), and the misogyny is very yikes. I’m sorry to everyone I love that I liked this as much as I did

It can't be ignored that Lars literally included a greatest hits of his own filmography in the middle of this. Unforgivable. That ignored, I did quite love the pace and punchiness of THTJB - in many ways it is LVT's most upbeat film and I think it should be considered as one of the boldest serial killer films ever made. Certainly one of the funnest.

This has no right being as funny as it is -- which is to say, it's arguably the funniest film of the year. And, as with nearly anything LVT puts out, the most indescribable. And how about that last act? Boy. Your predilection for its black comedy falls on whether or not you find child taxidermy funny but, ultimately, it's nearly impossible to describe this deconstruction of the serial killer genre.

Wildly indulgent, but I like von Trier, so I don't mind watching him be wildly indulgent. Also funny and incisive and discursive in all the best possible ways. Sort of a neat trick that anyone who gets up in arms about von Trier's provocations is simultaneously missing the film's points about the oversaturation of violence in American culture, the misbegotten notoriety assigned to real-life serial killers, the general indifference towards tragedy vs the uproar over cinematic representation, etc.

Say what you will about Lars von Trier, to me this film was excellent on several levels. Applause to Matt Dillon for a big performance. Bruno Ganz was also memorable, giving a voice to viewers' thoughts and questions (with a fair amount of insight) throughout Jack's spree of violence. The epilogue of this film felt like a counterpoint to Lynch's White Lodge.

Almost like a self-profound confession LVT makes, with the dissection of desires and compulsions through a serial killer. Treading back to different moments that cultivate one's art or philosophy (of course this is in a horrific manner), the end is almost as settling as the house is.

An extremely intelligent, but more importantly, beautiful musing on creative process, the impact, transgression and sublimation of art and its relation to reality, the appropriation of art by mass/mainstream culture and the ultimate alienation of the artistic mind...Reminds me of Foucault's critique of Las Meninas and Marquis de Sade , Mishima, Nietzsche....

Not since American Psycho has an artist delved this deeply into the disturbed mind of a complete psychopathic killer. Oddly enough, Von Trier's film is mostly lacking in humour which, when combined with its generic handheld camera work, gives it a dreary one dimensional drabness at times that could have easily been avoided, especially given the visual creativity on display in its epilogue. It's also way too long, but the narration is quite absorbing, and Dillon knocks it out of the park.

Trier finally descents into hell in this autobiographic film that sees murder as a work of art - and our "hero" is trying to build this house, or actually build his masterpiece, which ultimately is a bunch of bodies forming a house. Formally limited, but some crude humor combined with egdy violence make the point for a solid work. It's just too bad Trier is so self-conscious this is about him - he kind of admits Hitler is an icon to him lol - and so unbearably nihilistic. Last hour is pure shit.

This was tiring. There were a few good scenes, some of them oddly beautiful and some just straight up creepy/offbeat. But I also can't ignore the fact that it's rather mundane self-reflection and murdering people for 2 and a half hours for the most part. I've never disliked a von Trier flick but this is a first. Dillon was mostly quite good in this but some of the acting was hokey as fuck and I didn't think it was as visually inspired as some of von Trier's other stuff.

With all these stories of people walking out I was expecting much more gore and violence, but in reality most of the gore is neatly hidden, with just enough exposure for it to be somewhat provocative, and besides all the hype around the film's shocking nature, it's actually much fun, with surprising amount of humor and silliness. A pleasant surprise of a movie

*Spoiler* As a companion piece to Breaking the Waves it's rather great (a good person literally going to Heaven, an evil person literally going to Hell). It's also a smart dissection of an artist desperately wanting to provoke. That said, it also feels stretched and Matt Dillon doesn't convince.

I guess if you're willing to do quite a lot of work on behalf of the film, you could read its black comedy as ridiculing the conception of art that Jack represents and expounds at length — but by the last third, despite the veneer of irony, it becomes clear it's Von Trier speaking, and what he has to say is trite, half-formed, and more than a little stupid. Rather a waste of his undeniable visual talent and of a very committed Dillon.

Good portrayal of a psychopath/serial killer. But an hour too long. All the elaborate scenes with corpses were extremely unpleasant to watch - and over time also incredibly tiring at the same time. At first, the grotesque was amusing, but eventually it just felt like an attempt to portray something that was as sick as imaginable. The truly frightening aspect is the actual existence of people like Jack.

Felt like multiple different films in one. There's horror, comedy, crime, maybe even romance? And they were all done well, but I can't help but feel confused. I want to like this, but there's a lot that just didn't need to be shown, and it would be just as much of what it's trying to be. Oh well, worth a watch, just to see for yourself what Von Trier wanted to dish out this time.

A portrait of pure narcissistic evil. The main character is highly intelligent and has a certain charm, but completely lacks love or empathy. Jack is somewhat self-aware of his deficits and that pains him and drives his subconscious desire to be caught. The film would probably be better with some trimming and it is hard to watch the depths of evil that Jack is capable of.

A little refreshing to see a movie that really does not glorify serial killers, but oh my god this movie is bad. I had somewhat high expectations but this is disastrous. The stupid narration makes literally no sense and ruins the mood of the movie and at the same time makes it just plain boring. It is way over-violent (Tarantino style) for little reason and WAY too long with an ending that is supposed to be deep with loud music but is nothing more than an excuse for a movie. 40 / 100 Trash

There were parts of this I loved. There were also a lot of things that I thought didn’t work at all. It’s overlong, there’s way too much narration, and some of the philosophical areas it explored didn’t work for me. I thought a lot of the gore was great but some of the footage used, especially from Nazi Germany, was over the top and useless. I can’t even imagine how disturbing the unrated version is. Matt Dillon is fantastic in this. Probably worth seeing just for him.

Lars von Trier is a hit or miss director. Of the movies I have seen by him Antichrist was by far the best. Breaking the Waves and Dogville were good but not great. Melancholia was eh.

Civilization is built upon slaughtering "the lamb", yet what is the notion of lamb? A lamb is not inherently innocent but something not yet matured; and rather reduced to be ignorant. Ask yourselves, how far you would go when you know you can get away with whatever you do. This movie plays with the idea of designated power to a "civilized man".

It's a very serious meditation on the relationship between violence, art and empathy (or the lack thereof), and to the extent that I find it a little alienating, it's primarily because it's clearly a deeply personal work that means a lot more to Von Trier than myself. (In that regard, it reminds me of "Mother!".) It's also a frequently funny film, using bleak, deadpan humour to good effect.

sadly had to turn off and when taking it up again I skipped through the most gruesome parts. while the twist was rewarding and the descent into hell fascinating, it didn't make up for the rest of the movie. the dialogues are mostly weak pseudo-philisophical nonesense and the pacing is off. I feel there are so many other ways to portray this psychopatic murderer that would have brought home the same point and made the bed for the ending other than this. oh, and haneke does it better.

some parts of this literally turned my stomach, which is a first. the part about his hatred of hunting doesn't seem to mesh with his lack of empathy for living creatures shown elsewhere, so that was lars on his soapbox? I wanted to know why this guy was like this, and they almost lead me to believe they'd eventually explain ("why do you focus on the victims that were dumb women?") (almost homoerotic childhood desire to be caught) but they never do, those parts were disappointingly left open.

Another film by Von Trier of pure meta-cinema. It can be renamed "the house that Lars built". Von Trier use the genre as an excuse to make a film about him pondering about his work, himself, his desires. He wanted to build a cathedral, but following his prefered materials he just built a macabre house made of human flesh. Yet still Art. It's all very interesting for a cinephile, but to being honest: "Lars move out of the shot and let me see the movie".

By far the weakest movie by von Trier in a decade. Not because of all the violence. I do get that the lack of emotion in those scene are meant to confront the viewer which their lack of reaction to violence, tho that doesn't make for a very engaging movie experience. No the main reason are first that von Triers directing isn't as inventive and good as usual, only the epilogue showed some of this. But last and most of all because of all the platitudes about art ventilated in this.

Am not really well-versed in Von Trier's filmography but this I can say was amazing.Matt Dillon gives one of the performances of the year being both incredibly funny and super creepy sometimes in the same scene.The directing and cinematography is also top notch providing some jaw-dropping visuals especially towards the end.It can be a little pretentious at times but that didn't really bother me, what did bother me though was that needlessly long runtime that could've been cut down by a lot.

Like most of von Trier's films, this will obviously be divisive. It's not his best, but it's nearly up there for me. The voice-over conversations go into too many abstract digressions, making the film feel a bit unfocused.

Seen a lot of people ripping into von Trier about this one and I get the criticism, but Lars is gonna do what Lars does. I'm not terribly offended by his movie so much as I'm offended by Matt Dillon's performance.

The House that Jack Built ile birlikte sanata olan hastalıklı ve eril bakışını sinemaya aktaran Lars Von Trier, dünyaya aykırı olan fakat kendisi ile çok bağdaşan bir film çekmiş. Yarattığı karaktere bir de vicdan ekleyerek onları konuşturmuş ama konuştuğu kişi kendisi.

Von Trier'i filmlerinin içine yerleştirdiği egosantrik detaylar yerine, bütünüyle bir ego izdüşümü olan bir filmin içine yerleşmiş küçük özgüvensizlikler ve pişmanlık(?) lar olarak görmek çok eğlenceli. Her şeyi bir yana bıraktığınızda ise film, sadece bir film olarak da gayet güzel çalışıyor. Ayrıca ilginç bir şekilde senenin en komik filmlerinden.

People representing this as some over-the-top Extreme Cinema provocation makes me wonder both what films they've seen before, and what alternative world they live in. Unless they are reacting to the duck scene but somehow can't bring themselves to admit the violence against people didn't have the same impact. I'm bird people, with the automatic empathy that comes from a history of engaging with them as individualised sentient beings, so realistic cruelty to a bird certainly stays with me...

Believe or not this was my first Van Trier movie ever. And it was most of what one could expect from it - visually beautiful, provoking, absurd and apparently full of himself and even his movies. The movie passed real quick even though it's rather long. Don't know, interesting experience - and I'm probably one of few film lovers who got whole lot more of Trier to explore. Yay.

The dark humor, casting, and at times subtly disturbing nature of simple scenes with no score at all are highlights. It’s also much longer than it needs to be, with the tone and pacing varying. The murders feel repetitive and pointless after a while as well. It’s a niche film, best for people who can enjoy art films AND brutality.

One of von Trier's most rambling, at times even whimsical, films doesn't deserve its 'sickening freak show' reputation (though it is very confronting at times); rather it's a very darkly comic horror movie that considers the nature of screen violence, and the degree of responsibility of the 'artist'. Lacks the merciless focus of von Trier's best (the 'artistic' digressions were stultifying at times), but Dillon's captivating (and fascinating) lead performance manages to keep everything on track.

trier'in kendine apaçık referanslarıyla beraber form olarak film adeta bir "sanatçının youtuber olarak portresi." sanki senaryo yazımından çekim sürecine ve hatta kurguya kadar kendisi üzerine yazılanları okuyup hem hikayesini hem filmin yapısını değiştirmiş ve ortaya böyle olumsuz anlamda tuhaf bir şey çıkmış. matt dillon çok iyi ama gerisi gerilim filmi izleyip uykuya dalmadan önce insanın kendi kendine gevelemesi.

Lars von Trier's take on the serial killer genre had huge potential - he's more than capable of producing something truly shocking and uncompromising along the lines of Henry: Portrait of A Serial Killer. But he seems to be uncharecteristically holding something back. Most of the provocative scenes feel restrained or forced, and the rest of the movie mostly treads familiar ground. Dillon is good, and there is some fun to be had for sure, but overall this feels like a missed opportunity.

Normalmente eu não caio no Von Trier, mas esse filme é tão divertidamente masturbatório sobre si mesmo que não tem como não gostar do narcisismo galopante que se encontra aqui, isso se torna tão ridiculamente engraçado, o discurso sobre arte, o uso das músicas, a questão da misoginia, a fama, o inferno intransponível que ao final dei uma sonora gargalhada que deve ter assutado até a vizinhança. É como ver uma criança de seis anos percebendo a própria inteligência. Rá! AMZN WEBR

If I dismiss the good and just hate, Lars would love me more than if I love. I like: imagery of the Descent, the sounds, situational black comedy. Dillon - well cast. Ganz as Virgil - genius. Hate: Lars intends to provoke. Allow us access into the psyche of serial killer/LVT. The indifference of the world to suffering. As Lars blasts a load of narcissistic spunk, I ask - What of humanity have you impregnated us with? You can’t embody inhumanity without defining humanity.
