Review of Only God Forgives (2013) by Himeeg — 19 Dec 2013
This revenge tale is a little bit brutal and a little bit surreal. Director Nicolas Winding Refn and actor Ryan Gosling reunite for this visually dense look at the underbelly of Bangkok. Kristin Scott Thomas gives a perversely funny, as well as sad, portrayal of Billy and Julian's mother.
However it is Thai actor Vithaya Pansringarm that steals the show. This film is eerie, atmospheric, ambiguous, stylish, sparse for me, every one of those describes a positive trait of the film.
