Reviews for Dear Wendy
The location is nowhere, the characters' diction is beyond stylized and Novella Nelson plays Dick's maid. Miner families with maids? Maybe in Denmark.

It's an obvious point, one made all the more maddening for its can't-be-denied quality and its artful, strangely lovelorn aura of sadness.

Thomas Vinterberg and Lars von Trier take another step toward intellectual bankruptcy with a pretentious film about a group of pacifists obsessed with handguns.

Top Criticyou won't know whether to laugh, cry, or moon the screen. Von Trier shoots, von Trier scores.

This satirical love letter to America's gun culture has a very high calibre.

The gay burlesque version of the NRA

This allegory about alienated young people who love their firearms to death is so mannered and pretentious that any worthwhile insights it may possess end up shot full of holes.
09/23/05
Could very well be the best work of both von Trier and Vinterberg; sensuous filmmaking, an intelligent script, an excellent cast and soundtrack.

Wendy might have a bizarre sense of locale and idolatry, but the imagination of the filmmakers is just enough to help swallow their incredibly condescending posturing.
10/20/05
a private joke for two guys who should know better.

A dumb movie that thinks it's smart is the worst kind of awful.

It's a cold, brittle film, capable of grabbing attention but unable to emotionally absorb.

...thoroughly and irredeemably dull.

The highlight is when a female member of the Dandies bares her breasts, which is about as pointless as the rest of the film.
