Only God Forgives Reviews

Movie Reviews

• there's no way to overstate the gorgeous look of this film, but the mannered dialogue and deliberateness of pace becomes less of an homage to Asian revenge films than a parody

  by Jordan Hoffman [Film.com ]

• the movie is so devoid of emotion that its ritualized gore acts as a narcotic. Filmed in shades of red, with a minimal screenplay

  by A.O. Scott [New York Times ]

• part schlockfest, part campy fairy tale, this is a movie that begs you to bring your own barf bag

  by Rex Reed [New York Observer ]

• Only God Forgives is really just a lurid horror film dressed up in nonsensical swank

  Review rate : C- by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]

• God only knows what Nicolas Winding Refn had in mind when he made "Only God Forgives."

  by Betsy Sharkey [Los Angeles Times ]

• But the lurid story is strikingly vapid, laden with fetishized savagery. Dialogue is minimal
