Disgusted people walking out of a Lars von Trier movie about a serial killer is pretty much the definition of “dog bites man”

Lars Von Trier’s The House That Jack Built is an ordeal of gruesomeness and tiresomeness, quite as exasperating as I feared, but leading to what I have to admit is a spectacular horror finale. Review later #Cannes2018 #Cannes71 #Cannes

I’ve never seen anything like this at a film festival. More than 100 people have walked out of Lars von Trier’s ‘The House That Jack Built,’ which depicts the mutilation of women and children. “It’s disgusting,” one woman said on her way out. #Cannes2018 pic.twitter.com/GsBGCoyHEG

THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT: Lars Von Trier is trolling us, complete with a section of clips from his own movies. He uses excessive violence (which is more ridiculous than shocking) & misogyny as a form of self-examination… I’d be offended if it didn’t feel so empty #Cannes2018 pic.twitter.com/m4YRFjuiz1
