probably the most beautiful movie of all-time. certainly the best representation of depression. it is an infinity of time squeezed into a single moment, the entirety of the universe fitted into one lonely little mansion. this mansion is the only place that exists, and wagner's 'tristan und isolde' the only music. the end of the world is merely a symphony for justine's ravaging melancholia. if this doesn't make much sense to you, well...

Make no mistake, this film is a nihilist's dream, cleverly concealed beneath Von Trier's implied ambivalence. Should we stand motionless in light of current events or impending menace for which the planet could easily serve as a metaphor ? Less a movie about embracing despair than it is about abandoning hope, a dreary picture which, although well acted and visually striking, makes you feel hollow and empty, as I'm sure was intended. I do hope for one thing, for Sutherland to get more roles.

Neither the absolutely breathtaking opening montage or a tender and humorous moment here and there in the first half can - sadly - save 'Melancholia' from leaving a somewhat indifferent and disappointing overall impression. Make no mistake, I'm a huge admirer of von Trier, but for the first time he doesn't really scratch through the surface or challenge the viewer. Instead you're left with surprisingly few impressions, thoughts and wonderments to linger on - in one word: 'Meh'.

George Lucas says all directors fall into two camps: those who like people & those who don't. I'd previously put Lars Von Trier in the latter camp. But here he empathetically presents a depressed woman devastated by a sci-fi premise of the world ending around her. Cinematically it can be shaky--especially with the Kubrick-inspired overture and a slow middle section. But it makes up for that with beautifully mournful special effects, cinematography, and Kirsten Dunst's performance. Recommended.

Perhaps not Triers best film but still an extremely captivating, beautiful film about the loneliness and angst of the human spirit. Trier sprinkles his dark doomsday-tale with humour (notice the 19th hole golf court!), tenderness, and powerful music by Wagner. Once again Trier shows he is the women-director par excellence. Rampling and Gainsbourg are incredible, but Dunst (who has never been better) is the true revelation here. I am sure this will stay with me for a long time.

Nihilistic poetry constructed with quavering images - the masterful portrayal of how we humans are, as Freud said, disgraced and at the same time inexorably formed by social relations based on hypocrisy and conventions, and the difficulty of leaving it behind once and for all.

Referencing everything from "Marienbad" to "Festen", von Trier's latest is a pretentious mash-up lacking both the stylishness of the former and the awkward believability of the latter. In one word: Meandering.

Despite some beautiful cinematography, this film about the earth being destroyed by a giant metaphor ends up being disappointing (excluding perhaps the beginning and final scenes). Both the characters and the rogue planet are just symbols used in service of exploring nihilism and depression, which is great for analyzing those ideas, but which limits the audience's ability to feel other emotions, or the film's ability to portray a realistic event.

Depression as harbinger of the world's ending isn't a terribly complex idea, but it's no less effective for it, and von Trier is so skilled at capturing the mood that it feels profound all the same. His theatrical touches (the jaw-droppingly gorgeous overture, the supernatural flourishes, the elemental nature of it all, etc.) really bring to life what is at its heart a simple concept. More than a few shots were awe-inspiring on the big screen, including the ending.

The title should be [i]Dystopia[/i], which is all it is, from beginning to end, dehumanizing, hopeless, depressing, fearful, and pointless. It's anti-art. Whatever it did technically well only magnified it's pointlessness. It's only positive was you could walk out of the theater to the good and evil of normality at the end.

In Part 1, Dunst fantastically delivers just the right amount of subtle emotion to reveal the underlying regrets about what is meant to be the happiest day of her life. Societal conventions hinder her happiness and plant the seeds of depression which is metaphorically imagined in Part 2. Here, reality is set aside in favor of a surreal sci-fi disaster concept, overshadowed by the sisters' showcases of depression & anxiety. The prologue and ending were hauntingly beautiful; I was left hopeless.

Should be seen together with The Tree of Life as a companion piece. Although tonally opposite, they are actually two sides of the same coin. Melancholia considers the inherent meaninglessness of life while the former ponders its meaning. Although not as transcendent as Malick's opus, this keenly precise portrayal of depression is nonetheless a major artistic achievement with its astonishingly beautiful imagery and pitch perfect acting from everyone involved.

Melancholia feels like an honest ode to depression. Justine is often the only person at her wedding who inspires pathos, because despite being destructive and lost, she's the only person reflecting on what's happening. Everyone else is consumed by the symbolism of the ceremony - the little rituals and superficial elements. von Trier gradually juxtaposes the recasting psyches of Justine and her psychologically disparate sister, as the social constructs around them become meaningless.

Pleasing visually but here von Trier seems content to simply wallow in depression rather than doing something constructive about it. The first half is aimless, the second half has an interesting scenario but is devoted to a crushing tone that nonetheless is easily dismissed. Tristan und Isolde may be great but using the same thirty seconds over and over gets annoying. A good example of the nihilism infesting modern films that should be done away with.

I can easily say that "Melancholia" is the most depressing film I have ever seen. It's gloomy, haunting, uncomfortable, and categorically convincing with its subject matter. If you're not in a good mood before you plan on watching this and/or you're irrationally afraid of the apocalypse and the end of the world... don't watch it. There are many detractors that I can list off warding you away from the emotional roller coaster that this film puts you on, but there are far more pros than cons.

A captivating film, but it has some structural problems in terms of how it creates its characters, and there is an excess of them. The tone of the cinematography is also a bit inconsistent, and I don't quite understand the praise for Dunst, as she was merely adequate. Nonetheless, von Trier has made a unique film here that provides plenty to think on.

I have an inexpressible disdain for Von Trier, the man founded a movement that fostered and attempted to validate amateur quality works of film making. He may have abandoned his ideas, but he's still a simply horrible writer/director, and none of the great actors in here can help that. For a movie lauded as a sci-fi movie, it hides it quite well. I found that between people arguing at a dinner table, I couldn't figure out what this thing was about.

I don't see why this movie is so well-liked. There's really no point to it as far as I can tell. A planet is approaching earth and looks to destroy everything. The first half of the movie is about a bride who doesn't care about anything at her own wedding, and the second half is about the family freaking out over the possibility of death. I found it all very boring. The only positive for me is a great performance by Charlotte Gainsbourg and some nice visuals.

I tried watching this with a clear mind despite my past experience with Trier, and it was still an effort finding things to like about it. I suppose the production value is good aside from the fake hail, but I braced myself for something unpredictable to happen and it never does. Depression as end of the world may be an interesting allusion, but seems totally overblown as an elaborate allegory. If the world is going to end then none of these characters and interactions interest me.

The moment we, together with the main characters, experience the Melancholia 'sunrise' absolutely blew me away. I'm normally the type of asshole who's all 'hurr I wouldn't mind if humanity was wiped out because Transformers 3 made a zillion dollars durr', but when that concept was actually unfolding on my screen in such a painful way, where there is nothing to do but abandon all hope... well, that shut me up for a while. Gripping stuff, despite a very slow first half.

As if it weren't already abundantly clear that Trier adores Tarkovsky, this feels like his grandest tribute of all. It's divided into two distinct parts, there are horses, the plot is reminiscent in style and tone to The Sacrifice, and in the end, the mystery of it sticks with you. It's gorgeously photographed and varied in its visual expressions, at times intimately disturbing, and later on truly majestic and profound. I think it's my favorite movie of his, maybe because it's so tame.

Lars is so insightful to pick up on that depressed people can stay calm in stressful situations. To bad they shit on what little happiness people can have at weddings and such. Maybe I just don't get it because I've never been depres...oh wait. Fuck you Lars. This shit looks like it was shot by the camera crew of The Office except Lars said, "Lots of close ups guys, you know, make it artsy." The dialogue blows. Most of the acting blows. It's not sci-fi like it claims. Fuck this boring movie.

Like experiencing depression through a beautiful nightmare. The debilitating pressures of human ritual behaviors are backlit by the impending crisis of a planetary collision and human extinction. Trier's dissection of an elaborately planned wedding party reveals the lengths to which some will go to create a facade of happiness and effectively displays the hypocritical and indoctrinated nature of civilization. We are left to challenge standards of culture and find truth in the face of chaos.

Still not sure what to make of this. I really liked the first part, despite it feeling a bit like the Celebration and that annoying mother character (a pity that Rampling didn't get more to work with). The last part was breathtakingly beautiful (as well as the introduction) but felt strangely incoherent with the first part of the film. I kept thinking that the two parts should have been combined (as I thought it would be judging by the trailer). The sense of detail is what made it for me anyway.

Doesn't work as sci-fi for me. Doesn't work as psycho-drama for me either.

Not as bold as Trier's other films. I'm used to his over-confidence, but this one's a bit of a tame art-house picture that kind of just flickers in and out for the majority of the film. The first half is patient, subtle, and nuanced; the second half falls into Antichrist territory and becomes heavy-handed, confused, mean-spirited garbage. And yet, unlike other films by Trier (including the awful Antichrist), it isn't even memorable.

Don't watch this on a bad day, this is some of the most depressing stuff I've ever seen. Very low-key and kind of slow too, a little too slow actually. Reminded me at times of Tree of Life, which is not a good thing. This could easily have been cut down to one hour. That being said, I wasn't bored to tears so that's gotta count for something but I can't really recommend this unless you've got nothing better to do.

The opening and closing are filmic in a way reserved for von Trier, but then it's contrasted with a subdued moodiness that drives the narrative. It's well-shot, well-acted and well-written, for sure, but I feel like most of the human conflict is nullified by the more blatant symbolism of the title's namesake and its philosophical implications (which aren't really explored). Even then, there are some nice touches, like Udo Kier's darkly hilarious role or Dunst's surprising performance.

Mrs. Anti-social & Mr. Hedonism give birth to Depression & Anxiety and then Melancholia comes and makes everything meaningless! OH MAN! MIND = BLOWN! I'm so glad he provided such shallow metaphors so mental illness can finally be expressed in the form of a dreadfully boring piece of "Cinematic Art". Honestly, it wasn't until the implication that depressed people have some kind of 'super power' insight, did I throw the book against the wall. Keep stroking it Lars. That a boy. Keep stroking.

"Melancholia" lacks the emotional pull of something like "Dancer in the Dark" but it's still an intriguing, visually beautiful and well-acted meditation on depression. There are problems with the pacing, as too much of the first half is spent on details instead of fleshing out Dunst's depression, but the nihilistic while tender ending compensates. The film is very flawed but it's also provocative and the fact that von Trier is one of the most daring and uncompromising filmmakers is irrefutable.

Visually astounding. Von Trier's choice to frame an earth-shattering catastrophe within the context of a handful of intimate relationships makes the emotional enormity of the situation startlingly accessible. This is also why the exorbitant wealth of our dual protagonists works so well: in this isolated estate, there's no glimpse of wider society. No crowds, no TV blaring in the background, no frantic radio broadcasts. Just wide open spaces, and Melancholia gently lurking in the sky.

The first half is one of the best films I've ever seen. The mix of joy, frustration, sadness and desperation in Dunst's performance is indescribable. Every little thing about all the secondary characters, their comments, gestures and reactions, is pretty great too. The cinematography is close and personal, but also breathtakingly beautiful, and always appropriate. The second half, a notch bellow is still great. It takes a different tone and perspective, but provides a strong thematic contrast.

The wedding movie ("Justine") was excruciatingly fine, with each minor character creepier than the other; as others have commented, the planetary angst half ("Claire") was merely ok. I prefer a collision apocalypse with a little more oomph, like in Danny Boyle's Sunshine. Von Trier's view as stated is that life on earth is evil, or at least the PR firm/1% life that lives in golf course mansions. He makes a convincing case.

Knowing the experience of depression is difficult for those who haven't gone through it. It's an intense, overwhelming sense of dread and helplessness that's rarely communicated effectively in most forms of art. As someone who has felt this fear and loneliness, I haven't seen a film that's been able to duplicate the emotion so accurately. I feel an incredible desire to experience that pain again if only because of its power, but to do so would bring me no pleasure.

Quite a step down from Antichrist and a little disappointing (expectations reign), but it was still a good movie. The beginning and end = amazing, and are very memorable.

Some extremely impressive elements, but even these somehow feed into the kitschiness of the single-minded Romantic preoccupations, whatever ironic compensations may be peppered throughout. In short, I think I tend to agree with the director's own reservations; his candour in expressing these doubts so publicly may be revealing of the film's weaknesses, but more especially indicates something remarkable about von Trier himself.

A depressing, often difficult to watch movie, Melancholia tells the tale of two sisters, one afflicted with serious depression, all while a planet begins closing in on Earth, getting ready to destroy it. It's about the way depression affects people, and how people -- both "normal" and not -- react in a crisis. Kirsten Dunst is great, the opening sequence is phenomenal, and there's an intimacy to the whole project that sucks you in.

As someone who has been depressed before this film hit painfully close to the bone. The accusations you throw at yourself and the guilt that consumes you over feeling depressed, the self-destruction, how you switch between a seemingly unending emotional dirge and unpredictable mood whiplash. How your favourite food suddenly tastes disgusting and the world could end without you blinking an eye. It's an amazing, frighteningly honest, riveting film.

Dunst's best performance, and I'm a bit of a Dunst hater. Lars von Trier is a maniac, and I love it. The best sci-fi is more fiction than science, and we see that von Trier gets this. He reduces the level of science in this movie to almost nothing. We get that instrument that the son makes, which is a stick and a wire hanger, and it's all we need. It conveys a fairly complex idea, and the rest of the movie deals with the emotional truth of the characters. That's why von Trier is a genius.

I suspect each viewer will have a different interpretation of this film, but IMO to class this as some sort of sci-fi drama is laughable. "Planet Melancholia" is nothing but allegory. The film is a wonderful view (just 1 persons view) of "human melancholia", and is absolutely beautifully filmed, acted and paced. The over-riding feeling was one of intense foreboding and impending disaster, and as an allegory of the self destructiveness of depression, simply fantastic. Good film !!

I love movies that combine intimate human stories with broad concepts that affect all of humanity (another movie that does this very well is The Tree of Life from the same year), and Von Trier does exactly that here by use of interesting characters against a fascinating astronomical plot device.

Shitty shaky cam, quite boring story and not thrilling at all. I liked Dunst and the music though.
