Reviews

The Playlist -
Trier’s sensibility for the dynamics of family, for the depiction of nebulous memory, and for the detail of life (the film’s full of beautiful, complex scenes), means that I’m already eager to take a second look and see what else there is to unpack.

Screen International -
Richly detailed, sensitively played and cleverly mounted.
|
|
IndieWire -
An alternately wise, melancholic and good-humored look at people surrounded by support but nonetheless alienated by their incapacity to confront their problems.
|
|
Slant Magazine -
Louder Than Bombs is a parable that takes depression seriously as a condition and a state of being.
|
|
Variety -
Strangely, Louder Than Bombs manages to be glaringly obvious and admirably subtle in the same breath.
