This should have swept the Razzies

Nah.

Disagreed. It wasn't great but I loved that (spoiler) Julian lost the fight, both the brother and mom died, Julian went into his mom, the amazing looking lighting and camera work, the soundtrack, the hilarious cuts and long walks and long clips with no talking. The weirdness, the dedication to jodowarski. Judging by this list, you would think I would rate this higher than 6/10.

This wasn't a commercial film; why would it even be mentioned at the damn "Razzie Awards?"

It has some redeeming qualities in spite of blatant faults. There are way lousier films out there for this one to be counted. Besides, Razzie Awards is not only for bad movies but bad movies which receive the most attention. And this is an art house movie, ergo not the most concerned.

While some may say that the Razzies do not apply to art house fare, I think the Razzies should not be limited to what they can nominate.

With that said, I DO NOT believe Only God Forgives should have been nominated for any Razzies.

I think Only God Forgives was a terrific film. In 2013, off the top of my head, Grown Ups 2 should have been nominated and won Razzies (if it did not already get nominated & win).


Dalton and Craig! Accept NO substitutes!
