Figured it was torture porn. Funny you watch old movies and they never even have to show graphic violence to make the point; e.g A streetcar named desire.

Von Trier doesn't need it either, but a lot of his recent movies are accumulations of years of depression. His pre-Antichrist work is just "normal" arthouse.
There were walkouts during premieres of that as well. A good 1/3 of the audience at the screening I went to walked out during Volume I.shyt was tame af,were the Cannes audience looking at?
The Nymphomaniac 1/2 was more "controversial" imo

Outside of the conversation in the middle of the film that goes on too long, I thought this was good. Movie was alot funnier than I expected... The character Uma Thurman played and the one with the ditzy blonde came across like they were based on real interactions Lars has had with women. 
Matt Dillion was great in this, especially in that scene when he goes
with the blonde ditz.

Is the verison on streaming sites the unrated or R version?
Her name was “Simple” which I thought was hilarious, but my earlier thought that this would be a newer take on American Psycho wasn’t too far off. Maybe not as laugh a minute that AP was or having as insightful commentary on feminism/consumerism/lot more isms, it was pretty good. There’s still plenty of dark humor bits couched in between long diatribes about human nature, political correctness and “I’m very damaged look at me” sort of shyt. The ending goes places too, probably one of my more favorite bits is the conversation in the trailer. Even tho I could kinda tell how it was gunna play out it was still tense!Outside of the conversation in the middle of the film that goes on too long, I thought this was good.

And that house that jack built. Quality craftsmanship.
Not my most favorite Von Trier flick, but it was good. I still think he hit on something special with Nymphomaniac 1/2.
It is a mystery

I thought this movie was hilarious. I totally agree with what Gaspar Noe said about this, LVT uses a lot of cold, dark humor in this that had me absolutely dying, like when Jack keeps going back in the house to check for blood because of his OCD, the aftermath of performing taxidermy on the boy's corpse and when he changes the number of people he killed from 60 to 61 mid-convo and the girl he calls "Simple" can't figure out why.
At the same time LVT evaluates and opinionates on the purpose and value of art, how many of the world's greatest icons gained their status through acts of unspeakable evil and reflects on his own art. And despite its length it actually moves pretty fast too, only a few moments feel like they drag longer than they need to. After all these years LVT can still impress me.
