Review of Only God Forgives (2013) by Nbaluke579 — 23 Sep 2013
Probably the most divisive and polarizing movie of 2013. Only God Forgives is not a bad film. It's not. But it's not great one either. Let's start with the good. The visuals and cinematography are breathtaking.
Each shot is stunning and vibrant.It's a atmospheric film, and it's dark sinister vibe draws the viewer in. It's definitely an experimental film, and one better suited for art-house audiences. Now let's start with the bad.
The film is extremely slow, and the narrative is rather weak. The characters are more symbols rather than truly fleshed out human-beings.You never truly feel invested in what's unfolding on screen. Overall I think OGF is worth checking out, if your looking for something "unique" and "different" than the norm.
If your just looking for a casual film to watch, stay far away. My rating: 6.
