I was expecting something more shocking. Don't get me wrong. This is violent and misogyny at it worst. But we've seen it all before. Especially the worldly movie reviewers that are so eager to give it a zero. If anything, it's the minimalist acting that's unique here. And not just the limited dialog but it's the movement. They don't even move that much.The minimalist acting, the over saturation of color red, the grotesque violence, the misogyny, all of it adds to a unique feel unlike anything I've seen before. Even with all its oddness, it was compelling and mesmerizing. This is like nothing I've ever seen before and that's worth something to me.

First motif to see this film is the beautiful trip across various references. It is a majestic film about mother - son relation, about justice, revenge options and equilibrium. It is not an easy or comfortable movie. But it has a precious virtue - the details. Everything becomes a story itself. No doubts, not very comfortable but fascinating at whole. Because, in essence, it is a precise and profound inspired exploration of the themes and cinematography of the thrillers of the last decades. The Asian sensibility is the basic ingredient. So, just a beautiful work. ,

What a pile! I have no idea what my takeaway should be for this film. Not one character says more than 50 words. I'm not even sure who was the least terrible person. This is dark, confused, and meandering with no explanations and loads of gratuitous and graphic violence. I hated everyone in it. Gosling is a boob, imho he has only been in one good movie(Fracture).The mom reminded me of Smurf from Animal Kingdom.
