ryan gosling: [has 4 lines the entire movie] me: now THIS is acting!
Lucy'Only God Forgives' is a bad movie disguised as a good one. This is a movie where I feel like your level of enjoyment depends entirely on how you approach it. Some people go into it wanting a surreal visual experience, others want a compelling story, others want cool…
KarstenAug 4, 2018Obviously the colors were cool and it was shot really nice but I sadly didn’t care about a single thing going on in the story or any of the characters. Always nice to look at Ryan Gosling though, and the poster is so sick.

Only God Forgives is a painting. Paintings don't move. Paintings don't talk. Paintings exhibit colours. Red. Pink. Blue. Gold. Yellow. Refn used warm colours to create serenity, then used serenity to contrast violence; soothing music to contrast gore. Refn doesn't just…
YI JIANJun 11, 2016when will Ryan scream at ME to take MY dress off :'(
caitlinJul 21, 2013I liked this even more on a second viewing. The suffocating symmetry. The verging-on-comic portent. The flattened-out humid-hot glow of color so saturated it nearly bleeds. Exultant in such clinical and grisly violence. These things to me are features, not bugs, and the…

84/100 Aching, rustling NWR™ trash engulfed in pitch black spaces and sizzling neon. The viewer follows the story of Julien - his presence molded from silence, outspoken in violence - but Mai is the vivid, bleeding heart; daring to stare into the dismissive gaze of…

alorSep 27, 2022masochism taken as heavenly mandate; yearning for self-annihilation, just begging for an excuse to transcend temporal weakness. made me feel like my soul was ascending to a higher realm. the real deal.

…… Felt like a low budget 80s movie? Ryan Gosling was just there???? Nice Lighting, Incredible slow and boring, like 5 words spoken in the 30m i watched? Watched because of gosling but even he can’t save this
toro is "meh" onOnly God Forgivesdamn, this film really sucked haha. the story was so weird and random it made no sense at all. the main reason i finished watching it was because of ryan gosling and the gorgeous color pallet. the only good thing i can say is, the cinematography was great. other than that, meh af
Britny D likedOnly God ForgivesSlow-moving and surprisingly colorful crime movie based in Bangkok — very metaphorical and symbolic in plot. Stunning visuals, but would not recommend to someone that wants a straightforward movie. Definitely makes you think and want to rewatch.

Aye nae clue like
Steele Jowett is "meh" onOnly God Forgivesdamn, this film was really just meh the story was random itthe main reason i finished watching it was because of ryan gosling ofc the goat and how insane the movie looked visually the cinematography was peak but it was just overall a meh movie and the ending??? what lol ILY ryan🐐
Edward Kronkvist likedOnly God ForgivesVery dark movie and what made this stand out than most other revenge films in the genre was that the person who the protagonist was seeing revenge for didn’t deserve it. Overall gorgeous cinematography and Ryan Gosling who plays as always a character who doesn’t talk much.
- Jimmy Cricket likedOnly God Forgives
An awful movie dressed up like a good one. The script relies on the mood, too many things are left internalized but it appears like it’s good because of the visuals and direction. It also tries too hard to be cool. Ryan Gosling is the movie’s saving grace.
Pete616 likedOnly God ForgivesIntriguing story and outstanding visuals. Very unique story telling that won’t hit for every viewer but fans of Drive & Ryan Gosling will appreciate what this film is trying to do! Definitely worth a watch for the cinematography alone
Ciaran Fourrier dislikedOnly God ForgivesThis movie is visually impressive, but narratively lacking (severely). The story feels so random and yet manages to be incredibly boring at the same time. The soundtrack is surpassingly good tho and Ryan Gosling says some words.

God may forgive you for seeing this needlessly brutal film. But you won't forgive yourself.

It's a solemnly preposterous piece of designer revenge pulp, with actors who stand around bathed in red and blue light like David Lynch mannequins in between scenes of torture and murder.

Crushingly, the dependably perverse art-action director Nicolas Winding Refn has finally made a boring movie.
