Only God Forgive is about Julian, a drug-smuggler thriving in Bangkok's
criminal underworld, sees his life get even more complicated when his mother
compels him to find and kill whoever is responsible for his brother's recent
death.
What still
puzzles me about this movie is the reception of it at Cannes this year. It was
booed, and critics almost unanimously called it the worst movie of the
festival. Surely, I did not have a chance to see Blue Is the Warmest Colour,
the absolute winner this year which received an impressive amount of accolades
and seals of approval from everyone. But the more I think of the movie, the
more I see its ingenuity and, simply put, greatness.
