Reviews for The Celebration
Extraordinary...It is a celebration, not of a sham birthday party, but of the transformative power of truth.
08/06/04
It's a fine line to walk, that between comedy and misery, but Vinterberg handles the balancing act magnificently.
01/01/00
Draws the viewer in with its immediacy, emotional rawness, and elements of surprise, shock and suspense.

Vinterberg, while successfully holding his viewer's attention and moving his tale along with dispatch, doesn't here justify the unpleasantness with fresh insight.

The Celebration is founded on a cheeky display of cinephilic self-promotion.
08/21/09
Watching the picture, it felt more like a cerebral experience, than a normal film.

This is a Dogma-95 styled film, where the Danish filmmaker's group manifesto determines the rules for how the film is to be made.
