The Celebration Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Thomas Vinterberg's The Celebration mixes farce and tragedy so completely that it challenges us to respond at all.
New Times
Gregory Weinkauf
Best of the 'Dogme' fims, which isn't saying much, but there you go.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
A funny, volatile, visually dynamic story about the unraveling of one extended family during the course of a patriarchal 60th-birthday dinner.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The Celebration rips apart the placid facade of a familiar subject, leaving its audience stunned. As difficult as the film can at times be, the patient viewer will be rewarded.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
I'll be thinking about this movie for a long time to come.
Variety
Godfrey Cheshire
The more this film's results are measured against its rhetoric, the more callow and unsatisfying it seems.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
At a time when filmmaking so often falls back on the familiar, its effect indeed manages to be excitingly inventive and pure.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Ironically, through this anti-auteurist effort, Vinterberg, cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle, and the unflappable cast have created a virtuosic work.
City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul
Rob Nelson
The Celebration is founded on a cheeky display of cinephilic self-promotion.
Boulder Weekly
Thomas Delapa
Extraordinary...It is a celebration, not of a sham birthday party, but of the transformative power of truth.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The plot and the style are both founded on deceptive appearances.
F5 (Wichita, KS)
Jake Euker
A major triumph for the Dogme group, and a success from any point of view.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
Pungent family drama, but thuddingly self-serious and wildly overpraised.
