Critic Reviews

New York Post - V.A. Musetto

A Hole in My Heart will disgust many (probably most) viewers as it cements Moodysson's reputation as one of today's most daring filmmakers. Read full review

Variety - Gunnar Rehlin

Dark, provocative and disturbing, the new film by Lukas Moodysson is definitely not for all tastes but solidifies his standing as the most interesting director working in Scandinavia today. Read full review

Film Threat - Mariko McDonald

Not a film for the faint of heart… A Hole in My Heart is a cinematic challenge that eats slowly at the soul but never insults the audience or its characters. Read full review

The New Yorker - Anthony Lane

This is the first occasion on which Moodysson has lost his balance, allowing his wrath to outweigh the charity that he used to extend to even the most boorish of his characters. Read full review

The New York Times - Manohla Dargis

Mr. Moodysson may believe that he can stick it to the audience politically by sticking it to his characters. But like most film directors who commit to this strategy, his tactics come across as both naïve and wildly self-indulgent, while his fascination with the spectacle of the corrupt and the cruel is simply tedious.

The Hollywood Reporter - Frank Scheck

An experimental, transgressive work that pretty much fails on every level, A Hole in My Heart, depicting the efforts of a trio of amateur porn filmmakers, eventually will be considered a minor footnote to a talented director's career. In the meantime, it's the audience members that will have to suffer. Read full review

ReelViews - James Berardinelli

Disgusting, offensive, and utterly without merit. And, on top of that, it's boring and pretentious. Read full review
