The New York Times
No admirer of Mr. von Trier's work should miss this compelling rarity. Full Review
Jami Bernard
New York Daily News
It's not the best of von Trier, but the movie is shot in an unforgettable, haunting style that evokes both Bergman and the silent era. Full Review
Maitland McDonagh
TV Guide
In light of the aesthetic of ugliness that informs von Trier's Dogme films, it's easy to forget how subtly beautiful his work once was. Full Review
Michael Atkinson
Village Voice
Achieves an abrading, intimate, primal force his later films only hint at. It's difficult to imagine the Euripides original ever being more eloquently adapted. Full Review
Wesley Morris
Boston Globe
Medea works on von Trier's own imagistic terms. There are shots and sequences in this movie that feel unique. Full Review
