What I enjoyed most about this movie was how it took a serious subject such as a beaten nymphomaniac (Charlotte Rampling) telling her sad, sexual, lonely story to a stranger (Stellan Skarsgard) and it made it quite humorous to watch. Granted it's not all fun and games, you have to make it through some pretty demented chapters in her book, none more demented then Shia LaBeouf's ridiculously stiff performance. But there's something quite captivating and arresting about the material. Watching the nymphomaniac (played quite fascinatingly by Stacy Martin) and her journey never lost my attention even though at times it made me want to lose my lunch. Best of all is a scene with Uma Thurman, who pretty much walks away with the movie as the broken wife of a husband who has fallen to the nymphomaniac's knee.
3/4
