Only God Forgives will, understandably, have people running for the exits, and running for the hills. It is very violent, but Winding Refn's bizarre infernal creation, an entire created world of fear, really is gripping. Every scene, every frame, is executed with pure formal brilliance.

Refn has consistently delivered films that have subverted our expectations, and has proven himself a master at stylistic self-reinvention, but this feels like the first time he’s gone back to any particular well.

Only God Forgives is the spectacle of a brilliant young director spinning out in style. It’s a beautiful disaster.

Only God Forgives is a hypnotic fugue on themes of violence and retribution, drenched in corrosive reds.

The movie is like one thin satiric lark inexplicably slowed down to the point of lethargy.
