Review of Dancer in the Dark

few things have been able to make me cry. never thought bjork would be one of them.
from the very start you know things won't end up right. at all. by the minute 15 i wanted to stop watching it. it was extremely painfull but, also, extremely beautiful. as life itself.
everything is so believable, so real it's scary. even the "bad guys". you can't help but feel sorry for them, almost as much as for the "good guys", almost as much as for the world itself.
the ending scene perfectly sums it all up, in every possible sense.
