Only God Forgives is a 2013 action film[7][8] written and directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and stars Ryan Gosling, Kristin Scott Thomas and Vithaya Pansringarm.[7][8][4][9] It was shot on location in Bangkok, Thailand, and as with the director's earlier film Drive it was also dedicated to Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky. The film competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.[10][11][12][13]
Only God Forgives was released at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival to polarized reviews from critics who praised its soundtrack, action sequences and Winding Refn's traditional style, but was heavily criticised for its screenwriting and characterization.
With Only God Forgives, out this weekend, Danish-born filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn reteams with Drive star Ryan Gosling for an even more unsettling, dream-like action film.
Another season, another action film starring Ryan Gosling. Only God Forgives is the latest film from director Nicolas Winding Refn, who is perhaps most famous for directing Gosling in Drive.
