Empire - Kim Newman
Von Trier is a burr under the hide for many viewers, and the unconverted won't be convinced. But it's audacious, beautiful, tactful filmmaking and perhaps the perfect match for "The Tree Of Life" on a bipolar double bill.

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
A movie masterpiece...is Lars von Trier's ecstatic magnum opus on the themes of depression, cataclysm, and the way the world might end.

Variety - Unnamed
For all the tyrannical disdain he's shown other filmmakers over the years, von Trier once again demonstrates a mastery of classical technique, extracting incredibly strong performances from his cast while serving up a sturdy blend of fly-on-the-wall naturalism and jaw-dropping visual effects.

IndieWire - Eric Kohn
Melancholia hovers in ambiguity with riveting aesthetic prowess.

New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
The vision is as hateful as it is hate-filled, but the fusion of form and content is so perfect that it borders on the sublime.
