Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Dumont is much more confident when he sticks to the title town and the young woman the men left behind; his habit of alternating close shots with extreme long shots and his singularly unsentimental way of showing sex are as distinctive as ever.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
3 Jan 2008
fresh:
This film has few tangible pleasures, such as some somber shots of Demester walking far away in a field. Its achievement is theoretical.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
17 Aug 2007
fresh:
The harsh and lovely achievement of Bruno Dumont's Flanders is its mixture of the concrete and the abstract. It isn't about a specific war. It's about conflict of every stripe, in any time.
– Michael Phillips,
Chicago Tribune,
16 Aug 2007
fresh:
Anything but comforting. With its depiction of bestial behavior and shocking wartime violence, it's the kind of film that polarizes viewers through the raw power of its imagery.
– Jeff Shannon,
Seattle Times,
3 Aug 2007
fresh:
French filmmaker Bruno Dumont urges his audience to delve beneath the movie's melodramatic, often graphic surface and experience the film sensorially rather than intellectually.
