The new movie of Nicolas Winding Refn "Only God Forgives”, One of the favorites to appear on the track record, has not had the reception expected at Cannes.
Lots of boos and some applause at the critical screening, for a film that has been widely criticized for its excess of violence, something that on the other hand was to be expected considering all the previous works of its director.
"Only God Forgives"Has been affected by the inevitable comparison with the previous work of Winding Refn" Drive "and that is that those who expected to see a continuation of the film that gave the filmmaker the award for best director at this same festival in 2011, have found with a more excessive film.
Ryan Gosling he is once again superb as in “Drive” in this film that only grants him a little more than a folio of dialogues and that is because “Only God Forgives” cares more for aesthetics than narration.
Critics have also highlighted the great role of Kristin Scott-Thomas, actress who joins the list of favorites for the award for best female performer.
And it is that the film, despite the poor reception by much of the critics, does not have to give up the awards, we only have to remember the cases of films such as "The Tree of Life", "Antichrist" or "Kinatay" , which were booed and then awarded at the Cannes film festival.
