"Having built his international reputation with a restless need to reinvent himself and, more recently, a string of caustic pieces of satire, [Lars] Von Trier does a full on about face here, trading in his vitriol and raw cinematography for a beautifully- and very conventionally - shot piece of nostalgia," writes Todd Brown at Twitch. "Though directed by Jacob Thuesen rather than Von Trier himself, [Erik Nietzsche: The Early Years] is a surprisingly gentle comedy, a reminiscence of Von Trier's time in film school and the transformation of a young man into a coldly opportunistic businessman".
