User Reviews

This movie has porno and sex,but is so boring!.

Nymphomaniac Volume II failed to satisfy my taste despite the fact that it has sex and porn.

What I really hated about this movie is the reality that it is filled with boredom and absence of analysis.

Most people who saw it were completely disappointed and unhappy with the unjustifiable ending.

The conversation and dialog in Nymphomaniac Volume II is really boring and useless.

The actors who performed in Nymphomania should do porn because they don't know how to act!.
