Dogville quotes
Page 14 of 16Rich with meaning or a sublime prank, Dogville gets to you.
Jeannette Catsoulis in The Las Vegas Mercury
Shocks, galvanizes, and exhilarates.
Jeanne Aufmuth, Palo Alto Weekly
Perhaps there's something you don't need done?

June is near to bursting. She can't use the pot on her own, as you well know. It ain't fitting' to toy with her just 'cause she's crippled and can't help herself.

Dogville is a love-it-or- hate-it experience, but one that will fill a large space in any viewer's imagination.

Eric Harrison in The Houston Chronicle

Daniel Eagan in Film Journal International
Let tomorrow bring what it's gonna bring. It's not a crime to doubt yourself, Tom, but it's wonderful that you don't.

I don't care how much fun you think it would be. I'm not gonna spank you, Jason.
