Reviews

New York Post -
Take note, Lars von Trier: This is how you do a truly funny, subversive movie about a woman’s obsession with the human body and sex.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
Wetlands makes the internal external; the secret, scary bits of female anatomy are on display in a way that isn’t meant to be particularly titillating to the male gaze.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
What makes the film so accessible despite its controversial subject matter is Wnendt’s total command of tone, which is never vulgar or intentionally out to shock.
|
|
Slant Magazine -
For its general ludic obsession with all things generally thought of as disgusting, the German film Wetlands is stuck in the anal stage.
|
|
Variety -
Wetlands might have landed with the thud of empty shock value were Helen not such an innately engaging character, or Juri so commanding in the role.
