My personal gold standard for blindingly depressing movies that will leave you scarred for life but curiously still enamored with Björk.

I love Bjork. Her music is absolutely brilliant, and the movie got me into tears. I've never seen anything like it before!
brillant.... a film that really moves you... nothing that I've seen can compare to this
i can't believe how great this movie is, all the perfomances were amazing,björk's music work was completely awesome, i couldn't ask for more and it really and truly brought me to tears, amazing
Bravo!
i'm only a casual non-hater of Bjork, but her performance in this was one of the best peices of acting ever put to film and it's a shame she has vowed off the artform
this is without doubt the finest movie i have ever seen. nothing makes me cry so hard.
