Twitter Capsule: So little of Melancholia's conviction or coherence. Desultory, unpersuasive, beyond a few compelling episodes.

VOR:   Not remotely the provocation its title suggests. Von Trier merits benefit of the doubt but outside of strange, mannered humor there are few surprises or signs of real effort.
