 Re: Only God Forgives Wow I'm the first to vote A? This movie was great. I loved how unflinchingly cold and brutal it was without ever resorting to torture porn. I didn't enjoy seeing a dude get his eyes and ears cut out, but damn it was gripping. Basically the opposite of Drive's romantic brutality.

Re: Only God Forgives I toyed with the idea of giving it an "A-", but resorted for the much more realistic "B+".

Re: Only God Forgives God I hated this movie so much. Honestly one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Re: Only God Forgives This might be a good contender for David's thread; great movie, but I don't want to watch it again. It's not an easy watch, but I love the films' approach.

Re: Only God Forgives I think this is probably one of the most pretentious films I have seen in a couple of years.

Re: Only God Forgives My opinion generally stays the same. The trailer is great. I watch that regularly.

Re: Only God Forgives Dr. Lecter wrote: I think this is probably one of the most pretentious films I have seen in a couple of years. Really? I don't think the movie had anything to say, nor did it pretend otherwise. It was just a story of these really fucked up people. I hate when movies try to be poems. More often than not it fails miserably.

Re: Only God Forgives I am fairly certain Nicolas Winding Refn intends the policeman to represent God.

Re: Only God Forgives I'm kind of in the middle on the film, I guess leaning more favorably towards often. Definitely will need to re-watch again but I at least appreciate the effort here.
