Only God Forgives (2013) Review by Some random dude from France
Critics have gone way too hard on this movie. Lots of violent, strangeet slow films have been presented at the Cannes film festival since itscreation but yet every time a film pushes the boundaries of violencewhile keeping its own style, most critics go mad and sometimes shout atthe screening, even leaving the theater before the end and calling it"outrageous". This film, along with "Anti-Christ" is a perfect exampleof the type of scandals that go on at Cannes for quite stupid reasons.
First of all, forget about Drive. If you know Nicolas Winding Refn'sstyle and like it then you'll enjoy this movie but if you've only seenDrive and believe this is going to be in the same style (because of thesame actor, similar cinematography, same musical style...) believe meyou'll be disappointed. The trailer might give this impression, butthis film is very different. The director had already made other moviesjust like this, but they did not encounter a really large audience. Hisworks were mostly known by cinephiles, artsy people and intellectualsinterested in film analysis (in a general way of course). Drive was hisfirst really big success and also his first film taking place inAmerica, starring a worldwide known star (Gosling) and going deep intoits message while keeping a more specific style than his other films.
Here Refn feels a lot more philosophical, and comes back to hisoriginal style in directing films such as Valhalla Rising : greatvisuals, slow-pasted action, scenes that seem a bit detached fromone-another, deep character development, little dialogue, extremeviolence mixed with soft and/or trance-electro music... all of whichare here to deal with philosophical, deep, hard subjects like revenge,good and bad, mother/son relationship etc...
When it comes to the acting Gosling does not disappoints however thistime Refn wanted to do the opposite that he did in Drive : showing theweakness of his character. Also, even though he does pull-off a veryconvincing performance, Kristin Scott Thomas is surprisinglycaptivating and gives her character a much more "real" dimension thanit could have been (like it is most of the time, when a woman issupposed to play a drug-lord badass). But saving the best for the end,Vithaya Pansringarm, an actor totally unknown to me until know, playswonderfully his role as the mystical bad guy, and really did surpriseme by the quality of his acting. He completely understood the movie'satmosphere and makes his character feel mysterious and fascinating.
To sum-up this is a very atmospheric, deep movie with greatactors/actresses and dealing with difficult and serious themes, withsome philosophical analysis possible, but definitely not in the samestyle as Drive, even though it has some similarities with it.
Only God Forgives (2013) Review by yaldish from Michigan, Detroit
I do understand why people hate it, that also means that I understandwhy people love it - I am one of them.
This movie was shot by cinematographer Larry Smith who also worked withKubrick in 'Eyes wide shut', he made an extraordinary job shooting thispicture because it was beautiful to watch from the beginning to theend. But not only was it beautiful to watch, it was also an amazingmovie experience. If you are a fan of movies and a fan of NicolasWinding Refn then I think you will absolutely love this.
I read that a lot of people are complaining about this movie being thinon story and whatnot, well, let me put it like this; if Refn wanted a"story" he would give it a "story". He doesn't have anything to proveon that point because he already showed us that he can do it if hewants to, and I think once you let go of that then it will be a lotmore easier to enjoy and experience this movie.
The atmosphere in this movie was really something, it was almost as ifyou were a part of it thanks to this movie being very slow paced, andthat's why I've always been a big fan of slow-paced movies. "Chang",who is "God", was so coldblooded that even I as a viewer felt that itwill be impossible for "Julian" to actually try to kill him - and thenthat last fighting sequence came. All the actors did a very good joband gave convincing performances, meaning that they didn't have to domore than what was already in the film. And I loved the fact that ourprotagonist got beaten down to a point where we couldn't see his normalface, and I liked the relationship that Julian (Ryan Gosling) andCrystal had (Kristen Thomas) because I could feel that mother-to-sonlove type of relationship even though it was very tense, that probablyhas to do with good chemistry between the two actors. This movie alsohad very good soundtracks which added another great layer to it. Iguess if David Lynch were to make an extremely violent movie, I thinkit would look something like this, there were indeed some Lynch-momentsin there and some Kubrick shots which I absolutely loved. As much asthis movie made me cringe I could not stop enjoying it, it was all in apositive way. I think Refn at one point called this a Thai-westernabout a man who is fighting against god, and I couldn't stop thinkingabout that whilst I was watching it because that's exactly what it is.
People can trash this movie all they want, we even had two peoplewalking out of the theater. But the fact that some critics gave it a100/100 and others gave it below 50/100 should tell you a lot. But atthe end of the day, I think if you really want to know what you thinkof this film, you will have to go and see it for yourself.
Only God Forgives (2013) Review by dme3-624-956960 from Belgium
I went into the movie theater looking forward to this film. Expectingsomething along the likes of Drive, which was a great cinematicexperience in my opinion, I got to see something which had similaritiesin execution and style but turned out to be a very different movie fromthe latter.
Without saying too much I will say that this will be one of theweirdest movie experiences you will ever get. It has the same type ofartwork that made Drive such a great accomplishment but it takes it alittle further. This is done to a point where you can either choose torelate to its ruthlessness and brutality ( it is an extremely violentfilm) or discard it for it. The setting and scenes are played outbeautifully but the pacing feels off as it builds up really slow andnever gains pace throughout the showing. At times you feel like you arewitnessing scenes from a wonderfully shot masterpiece, yet the nextmoment it can be as if these scenes add up to nothing substantial. Tome it feels as if the director has been overly ambitious and atparticular moments he managed to make it work but overall it doesn'thit home. It tries so hard to be memorable and refreshing that at timesit turns into a parody of itself.
This being said I still enjoyed it for what it was and though thebrutality and violence won't be for anyone to be appreciated ( it getsvery raunchy)it's an experience I'm glad I did not miss out on. Someother people in the theater where less forgiving ( no pun intended) andleft it running for the exit. It's not as accessible as you would wantit to be, and it's not as great as it feels it could have been but ifyou want to watch a film you won't be able to wrap your head aroundentirely for the next few days I'd say: give it a shot. You might findit worth your while. I certainly found it to be so. A decent piece ofartwork or a let down? Depending on what you look for in a film you canonly consider it to be one or the other.
