There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The Nymphomaniac is a story. It is graphic, but it gives a lot to think about in just the first 40 minutes. I am very picky about movies. I don't watch porn. This is rather an intellectual trip. On the surface it is not a conservative mind's cup of tea, but on the inside it is not about making a fuss. I love that it's lengthy, it gives time to process, because there is a lot going on. I will surely re-watch it to understand it more.There are a lot of disturbing scenes I simply could not watch as I am a sensitive woman, especially the ending. I am not a character like her, but her story is relatable. I loved the beginning, which fed my mind, and the lengthy scene about the wife. Most movies just shorten those embarassing moments, cut, cut, cut. No! Those are lives of people. People are miserable, when they love somebody and lose him/her, and this movie truely shows it, at least that scene. I like that it is so detailed and full of tension and stress.I would totally recommend for those, who are open-minded, liberal and free, but like thinking.

So many people wrote how "disturbed" they were by "this shitty sex movie". I divide them into two groups: 1. First group decided to watch the film because they love sex, porn, and the title "Nymphomaniac" sure sounds like their kind of thing. Then they went to cinema (or Internet), watched it, and were disappointed because "they had to listen to a lot of boring dialogues before there was a sex scene" (to which they could masturbate to if they were alone). Then when a sex scene would finally come, it wasn't as exciting as it "should have been". So they were disturbed at how much this movie didn't fulfill their expectations. And they are right, it didn't. Because it's not a shitty, cheap movie, meant to get them turned on. As unbelievable as it sounds to them, the purpose of both the film and the sex scenes go much deeper. And if only they had bothered to pay a little more attention to the "boring dialogue", perhaps they would have noticed that the meaning of the movie - and the real story - goes on in that conversation. And the sex scenes were not as sexy as they "should have been", according to them, because it's not about turning people on. It's a film for you brain, not your genitals. And that is precisely why people from the group one were disappointed. Good.2. The second group are the people who were "disturbed" because there were too many explicit sex scenes. I have nothing to say about this except: Are you serious??? Have you looked up the definition of the word "nymphomaniac" before you decided to watch it? And again, they missed the purpose because for some reason unknown to me, they were too focused on the "filthy" sex scenes in the film named ~Nymphomaniac~ that they missed to actually watch it. The point is: If you focus on the ~sex~, you won't like this movie, nor get it. Therefore, if you want a cheap turn on, just go watch porn, and let artists like Lars take sex to a different level, a little above the primitive urge. Because the reason Joe was "a horny bitch" is a little different than yours.

So many people think that this movie just show sex, no more. And i admit maybe they were right, but,This movie really change my perspective, and so many thing. Yes you should give your spare time maybe 5-6 hours to watch it until the vol.2. The sexual thing that i first(in a whole my life) i think it was taboo thing, or topic that wasn't worth to talking about, but you know, we life with it. Desire of sexuality, to many other things, not only human to human. Human born with lust and desire, if you don't have that so what is difference with you and stone (sory for bit sharp because i just can't stand with people who give this movie rate only one star)Sometimers this movie haunts me, and i swore that maybe in this years 2017 I can't see this movie twice or more because it make my thought full and sick. Sometimes i feel guilty, but i swore everyone who boring with high rate movie and love the up normal movie should watch this.When i was kid, i am afraid of ghost, and up until now those feeling is disappear, and this is the really new indescribable feeling of awfulness

Lars von Trier has ever been a censor-baiting director and he seemed to reach new extremes of sex and sadistic violence with his ANTICHRIST. His new NYMPHOMANIAC films go even further, pushing the boundaries of on-screen sexuality with pornographic depictions of coupling and the like, so these films are only recommended for the least prudish of viewers.NYMPHOMANIAC VOL. I is certainly an interesting and intriguing viewing experience and would remain so even if you took away all of the gratuitous sex and sexual situations involved. It's a character study of a woman who is first discovered battered and broken in a shady alleyway. The quiet and bookish Stellan Skarsgard brings her back to his apartment, where she tells him her life story up until the halfway mark. Skarsgard has long been a watchable presence in cinema and he actually turned out to be my favourite character in this. Although he's present only on the sidelines, I loved the way his character brought theory and academia to the story, drawing parallels with various historical and religious stories. His relationship with Charlotte Gainsbourg feels naturalistic and spiky.The rest of the film is a mixed bag. Some of it is repulsive (involving the young underage girl), and other parts are depressing (the Christian Slater character). Shia LaBeouf gives a surprisingly good performance (despite the dodgy accent) as a character of depth and humanity which you wouldn't believe based on his first scene. The set-piece sequence with an outstanding Uma Thurman is a definite highlight here and one of the cringiest/most awkward things I've ever watched on screen. Much of this film rests on the shoulders of the young and slight Stacy Martin, an actress who exudes an icy fragility throughout, and watching her character growing up on screen is quite the experience. VOL. II takes the story down ever-darkening pathways, and must be watched in conjunction with this instalment (like KILL BILL, the film was only broken into two parts due to the length).
