Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, o filme colocou um garoto que gosto de faroeste, o filme tem cenas fracas, cólica também um pouco de ação no final, que não ajuda em nada, nem o elenco é bom.

Poor concept led to a weak uninteresting film.

Lars von Trier wrote a film and gave it to fellow countryman Thomas Vinterberg. Both has done exceptional movie work several times but this is something quite different: It's nothing special. Well, it's a group of younger kids and their love for guns. There are some trouble and there are some action, but there is no great momentum here. Dick - our main guy, is some kind of loser and his friends are no big guns (hoho) either. When their intrest of guns escalate there are some sort of turn here, and it's them against the world. It's hard for me to stay interested and it's not thrilling or entertaining. Not a inspirational or heartfelt film either. The idea that this is a anti-film put against the USA's love of guns are alive but not supported by many - me included. It felt half-hearted, but I'm guessing there are some hidden meanings here. I never got it, and I never bothered to google it. 4 out of 10 targets.

von Trier is why my MUBI user name is Dogville59. He wrote Dear Wendy and along with direction by Thomas Vinterberg made this movie. Trier is able to scathingly expose American insanity in this case via its obsession with the gun.Gun proponents should watch this movie. Powerful and cuts through the dark side of America as only Trier can: the same way Dogville does. No wonder a certain segment of America hates him.

I thought this was a sharp bit of satire about a group of young social misfits who develop a fascination with guns. They form a strange, insular social group called "The Dandies" that makes them feel more powerful and self-assured, while also divorcing them from reality. Their loss of a firm grip on reality leads to a bizarre, violent climax.

"Dear Wendy" is pretentious--it's also a visceral thrill with some fine writing.

What a film! Great story, awesome cast... brilliantly directed.

It's easy for me to be generous with Lars von Trier and Mark Webber and critiques of violence or gun culture... but this one misses what should've been a promising mark.

wached it once might wanna wach it again.

Non. Je ne peux pas mettre de mots sur cette oeuvre. J'essaie de mettre le doigt sur ce qu'elle m'a fait ressentir, mais le contraste était trop puissant, trop... harmonisé pour que je puisse identifier quoi que ce soit. L'oeuvre est majeure, et m'a sincèrement marqué. L'histoire commence pourtant calmement, et elle tisse lentement sa toile autour du spectateur, qui se laissera prendre de court par la suite des évènements. Car, qu'est-ce que réellement le pacifisme, sinon de s'empêcher à tout prix d'être violent?

To the casual viewer one might think that is this an anti-american movie specially considering that it is written by Lars Von Tier they might be right,but I think it's more than that. I look at it not only as an anti-gun movie but also america's love affair with firearms in genral take in account the fact the dandies uses pistol's to go up again heavy armed police officers at the end..there is so much said in this movie it's no wonder it's lost on most people.

Thomas Vinterberg And Lars Von Trier cooperation

Film que representa la dicotomía entre la cámara entrometida de Vinterberg y un guión metafórico e inteligente que recuerda a los primeros trabajos del gran Lars Von Trier. Un grupo de jóvenes pacifistas se reúnen para (paradójicamente) compartir su gusto por las armas en una acción catártica que generará inesperadas consecuencias. Jamás se había filmado un estudio tan estilizado y lúcido sobre la cultura de las armas en Estados Unidos, con esa relación amor-odio, aunado a la "necesidad" de portar un arma. Bellísima alegoría sobre toda esa violencia contenida que en cualquier momento está expuesta a estallar...

La musica esta genial, la historia bastante interesante y las actuaciones exelentes

This film has no internal logic. A group of supposed pacifists go underground in the mines to practice shooting their pistols... The law puts a teenage murderer under the supervision of one of these teenagers (who is supposedly a pacifist - well, you get the idea). Not much happens other than a group of misfits getting off (metaphorically) with their guns. The movie ends like you think it will: badly.

Funny, weird, original, and creative.

Somewhat bizarre effort from Vinterberg and Von Trier that masks social commentary and haphazard messages about gun-use with a frankly silly story. Despite the heavy-handedness, it's admirably put together, with a brilliant score, and some great invention, even in the ludicrous finale.

Its an interesting movie. Its a bit slow, but I liked it.

This movie confused me a bit. The kids made no sense, but they were fun to watch. Clarabelle was a f-ing idiot. What the crap was she thinking? Anyway, loved seeing Jamie Bell prance around in a cape and top hat.

I love it. It's so Von Trier. It's so a film about America from a European intellectual who's never been to America. This film is so bizarre. It's strange and weird and unsettling. It's completely singular. It's like a dream. It's like a film that slipped through a crack from an alternate reality. I took extensive pages of notes while watching it, but I don't have them with me, so you'll just have to trust me and watch it. Though you probably won't like it, since you're not as big of a film prick as me. Take that anyway you like (in the butt).
