Of course, von Trier wants us to react, to be repulsed, shocked, offended. Mission accomplished.

Von Trier, never exactly an optimist, has never been this gloomy and pessimistic. Antichrist is the feel-bad movie of the year.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Rotten
Antichrist is a unique form of cruel and unusual punishment: an unrelenting orgy of graphic sex, violence and cynicism that also manages to be wildly pretentious.
Christopher Kelly, Dallas Morning News
Fresh
Antichrist is a boldly personal film, tossing all von Trier's ideas about faith, fear, and human nature into an unfettered phantasmagoria, full of repulsive visions and fierce scorn.
Noel Murray, AV Club

Self-loathing, mean, ugly and perfectly made, Antichrist is probably the best film ever that you'd recommend to absolutely no one.
Tom Long, Detroit News
