Unstintingly raw and cynical, this disconcerting and deeply affecting State Of The Union treatise regularly comes dangerously close to caricature.

It's true, of course, that Trier still hasn't set foot on U.S. soil, but it may be that he sees us, in all our virtue and victimhood, that much more clearly for it.

A misfire, but a misfire from von Trier is still more interesting than a blandly successful Hollywood product.
60
If you hated "Dogville" because of the overage of narration or the length of time it took to finally get to a point, you'll be pleased to know that von Trier has lessened both those elements. With that said, it still has some of the same flaws.
40
Nothing von Trier presents here, whether real or imagined, is fresh or new.
30
All of this plays out as flat, didactic, and lazy.

Manderlay is turgid and hollow.

This movie is a sequel of Dogville and follows the story of Grace and her father with his group of gangsters after they burnt the small town of Dogville. The movie is beautifully shot in the same style Dogville was. Anyway I felt this story to be a little banal and full of clichés. It turns out to be a forced sequel **** movie that didn't necessarily need one. It still remains a good movie.

When I was kid I saw Lars von Trier's movie Europa and was immediately enthralled by its tragic beauty.Many years have passed since then and now I have to say-Manderlay is probably the worst movie I've ever seen.
