In my opinion, it is a sort of ideal sequel to 'Only God Forgives,' even though the stories are obviously different. Both films somehow deal with innocence and how violence and horror, in all their possible forms, follow it almost naturally and consequentially. As if the two were necessarily two sides of the same coin. A successful psychological thriller, filled with scenes rich in symbolism, featuring the ever-brighter star Elle Fanning (with Keanu Reeves in the cast) in the lead role, and the music by Cliff Martinez, which is much more than just a true soundtrack, but which, in its essence, contributes substantially to the visionary and hallucinatory content of the film.
