Review of Only God Forgives (2013) by Private U — 03 Dec 2013

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.

I can think of a good many adjectives to describe this film - eerie, atmospheric, ambiguous, stylish, sparse - and for me, every one of those describes a positive trait of the film. The critics may not love it, but I sure do!
