I don't think this is near the level of Dogville, not even close. That remains one of the best films I've ever seen. Still, very much a worthy sequel to it with its own ideas and moral questions. It's not as consistently riveting or as intriguing as Dogville, and at times the film lacks the former's certain punch, but it's pretty good. Bryce Dallas Howard is good in the role and she brings a warmth to it that Kidman definitely didn't bring. Because of this, it's hard to sort of see them as the same character. On the reverse side however, Kidman brought a sense of intelligence and maturity (as she usually does) that Howard lacks. Both are really good in their roles and I honestly wish they had been different characters.
