Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
It's amusing only if you agree not to think very much about it.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
A film like this has a limited audience, I suppose, but for that audience it offers a rare fascination.
-
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
For those who treasure not only watching the intricate challenges of filmmaking but also feeling the thrill of tomfoolery and sharing the demonic joy of psychological twists, Obstructions is enthralling.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
In this enjoyable if trivial battle between von Trier's psychodrama theatricality and Leth's cool formalism, it's ultimately the viewer who comes out the winner.
-
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Part of what hooks you to this movie is how Leth outsmarts his taskmaster, and how the two men have divergent, almost incompatible aesthetic ideals.
