Louder Than Bombs's reviews
Media reviews
The Playlist
Trier?s sensibility for the dynamics of family, for the depiction of nebulous memory, and for the detail of life (the film?s full of beautiful, complex scenes), means that I?m already eager to take a second look and see what else there is to unpack.
Screen Daily
Richly detailed, sensitively played and cleverly mounted.
Cinemanía
The secrets of a profession, that of reportage in conflict areas, as dangerous as disconsolate, at least if we look at what has this type of Nordic cinema.
El País
Trier, again, leaves you crippled and comforted, and just opening a gap in your own thinking, in your convictions and even in your stomach.
The Wrap
There isn't a single scene that falls flat or feels false.
Indiewire
An alternately wise, melancholic and good-humored look at people surrounded by support but nonetheless alienated by their incapacity to confront their problems.
ABC
Trier talented dispenses different times and plot lines (...) especially handled with subtlety all conflicts.
Variety
Strangely, Louder Than Bombs manages to be glaringly obvious and admirably subtle in the same breath.
The Hollywood Reporter
While it's well acted and has strong moments on a scene-by-scene basis, the film lacks an emotional center, keeping the impact cool and diffuse where it should be affecting.
The Guardian
A rather silly, pointless and directionless film.
