- "THE MOVIE FANATIC"October 22, 2025ONLY GOD FORGIVES is a visually stunning and beautifully shot film, which has a lead character that is very complex, interesting and tragic, he's someone that you just care about, relate to, feel sorry for and are invested with all the way through and us as the audience watching just root for him and hope he makes it out of this horrifying situation. Also the films lack of dialogue mainly through our lead, only adds more depth, mystery and layers to the films storytelling and gives it that sense of realism about it, in what seems on paper to be a simple concept, there's really so much more going on there beneath the surface, mainly through the acting as well as the lack of dialogue, which is powerful filmmaking in itself and finally I absolutely loved the setting, set design, colour palette and cinematography it's all top tier, as much as the movie itself loved it!!!
