General impression:
It is a good biopic. I think its average rating on IMDb is not relevant. The actors do a wonderful job, it has both funny and dramatic moments… really nothing unenjoyable, quite the contrary.

Highlights:
Nicely put together. Not to mention that both Rhys Ifans and David Thewlis have Harry Potter movies in their filmography – talk about versatility 😀

Downside:
Maybe it wasn’t promoted well enough.

Would I see it again? – Yes, someday.

My Rating (1 to 10): 8

Recommended: Yes

Suggestion:

General impression:
I loved it! It’s one of my favorite movies. Very interesting, deep, and full of meaning. It grabbed all my attention.

Highlights:
It has a message, is very artistic, engages you to think and even draw some parallels. “Dogville” is an intelligent allegory enriched by every detail it is made of.

Downside:
The minimal set might be a challenge for the viewer who just wants to sit back and enjoy the movie. Some may not appreciate the high degree of artistic expression.

Would I see it again? – Definitely, anytime.

My Rating (1 to 10): 9

Recommended: Yes

Suggestion:
Don’t watch the movie unless you are in the mood for thinking.
