100
Achieves an abrading, intimate, primal force his later films only hint at. It's difficult to imagine the Euripides original ever being more eloquently adapted.
90
No admirer of Mr. von Trier's work should miss this compelling rarity.

In light of the aesthetic of ugliness that informs von Trier's Dogme films, it's easy to forget how subtly beautiful his work once was.
75
Medea works on von Trier's own imagistic terms. There are shots and sequences in this movie that feel unique.

New York Daily News
It's not the best of von Trier, but the movie is shot in an unforgettable, haunting style that evokes both Bergman and the silent era.
