Incredible movie! Be prepared to cry in the finale...
This is surely a masterpiece although it has as many admirers as haters. It is difficult to describe its character: is it a melodrama, a sentimental soap-opera, a musical, an eccentric videoclip, or simply a surrealistic story of a woman (Selma) who wears thick glasses and loses her vision with each day passing? Selma dances and sings due to her unending love for musicals, when everything around her is falling apart. The camerawork is indeed hard to follow in some cases, but if you are patient enough you will be amply rewarded in the end! The finale is incredibly moving and Lars von Trier managed to bring back compassion in modern cinema with the most subversive way. A film not to be missed!

Painfully dull, the camerawork is irritating as hell. Think "Blair Witch Project"
I couldn't even get to the end of this movie, it was so irritatingly dull. THe camerawork is... "artsy"? It made me feel sick. Evidently the ending was worse than the first half so I'm glad I didn't finish it. I'll just stick to (some of) Bjork's music and avoid ALL of this director's work.

Nauseating
I wish I could give this film negative-5 stars. Truly the worst movie I have ever seen. Von Trier is a sadist who forces his audience to sit through the last hour of the movie and share the unending agony of the main character, only to be followed by a horrible execution. After it was over, I was truly ill. Watching this movie reduced the quality of my life. I will never see a Von Trier movie again. He hates women and it shows. He should be launched into outer space; only a hateful human being would make something like this.
