Has anyone seen it? Is it worth it?

Nymphomaniac was rather bad but I'm still tempted to see this one because I love Dogville and Melancholia so much.

I've heard nothing but pretty bad things from those who saw it at festivals, but then again I've heard amazing things about films which turned out to be total shite, so what do they know.  I'm cautiously optimistic - it's a good premise for Von Trier to have a go at, and I like Matt Dillon a lot.  The trailer did look a bit shite, almost as if he's cannibalizing his own style, but what's a trailer.

I did like Nymphomaniac overall, with all its flaws.  My guess is that if you haven't liked his more recent films (starting with Antichrist) then this one won't win you over - seems to be a similar style.
