Yes to everything except Enter The Void. It's technically incredible but lacks substances and engaging characters. Great off Acid tho

It came after Drive and it wasn't Drive 2. A lot of plebs discovered Refn with Drive and expected Only God Forgive to be similar

This nonsense is so inorganic to any sense of globetrotter restlessness or anything explicitly or metaphorically to do with British or American colonialism that it just feels derivative. That Kubrickian scene in Drive of dead-eyed strippers watching an assault gets extended here in a more elaborate whorehouse sequence where catatonic hookers bear mute witness to instances of police corruption. Refn’s tableau of organdy-gowned call-girls listening to pop while watching violence in a bouquet-bedecked whorehouse is the ultimate David Lynch parody.

Gosling and Refn have art ambitions–a strange sense of fun. But how can film culture progress with fantasies like this? There’s no shock or outrage left. Refn relies upon a level of menace (unerotic, non-provocative) that precludes caring about or responding to violence, vulnerability, mortality. This is cinema for unsophisticated viewers who don’t already know Bunuel’s eye-slashing, Altman’s Coke bottle assault or Shakespeare/Julie Taymor’s Titus. Children of Kubrick, Friedkin, Lynch and Tarantino, they remain infantile about movies.

I thought it was similar. I like both.

I'm the same, watched it numerous times, feels cathartic. People hate the Oedipus subplot and see the man vs god narrative as edgy, fedora tipping nonsense that usually results in the "it's all style over substance" simplification. Great movie.

Spring Breakers completely caught me off guard with how good it was

Anti Christ was great as well, Dafoe is a brilliant actor who goes by completely underrated
