Review of Only God Forgives (2013) by R8Diohead — 19 Jul 2013

Let me begin this review by stating that I loved Drive. I was able to overlook the "all style no substance" element of the movie and take it for what it was. That being amazing art direction, great soundtrack, and decent acting.

Only God Forgives, on the other hand, was one of the most terrible movie viewing experiences I've ever had. I approached the movie with an opened mind, despite the awful reviews. I was expecting another movie on the same wavelength of drive, and I figured I would be able to find enjoyable elements of the movie.

I was extremely mistaken. This movie was absolute filth. The scarce dialogue makes no sense. The actors are merely emotionless robots. And the director seems to have a weird fetish for stomach churning goriness.

If you consider yourself a cinephile who appreciates a good art-house movie, take it from me. EVEN GOD WILL NOT FORGIVE THIS MOVIE. If anyone deserves an Oscar for this movie, its the person who made the trailers.
