Lars von Trier’s anti-raunchy sexual epic about one hyper-promiscuous woman assumes a
darker shade in this second, final episode. Our anti-heroine Joe now recounts to her
one-man audience how, in middle age, she came to lose all sense of sexual pleasure
and find a sadder joy in masochism, threat and violence. While much of the sex in the
first film came across as a childish game, here it feels like self-imposed punishment
as Joe submits to the whips of an S&M master and the dangerous thrills of sex with
strangers, abandoning her sleeping child at night. — TIME OUT
