Unstintingly raw and cynical, this disconcerting and deeply affecting State Of The Union treatise regularly comes dangerously close to caricature.
It's true, of course, that Trier still hasn't set foot on U.S. soil, but it may be that he sees us, in all our virtue and victimhood, that much more clearly for it.
A misfire, but a misfire from von Trier is still more interesting than a blandly successful Hollywood product.
If you hated "Dogville" because of the overage of narration or the length of time it took to finally get to a point, you'll be pleased to know that von Trier has lessened both those elements. With that said, it still has some of the same flaws.
Nothing von Trier presents here, whether real or imagined, is fresh or new.
All of this plays out as flat, didactic, and lazy.
Manderlay is turgid and hollow.
