Only God Forgives is a 2013 action film written and directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and stars Ryan Gosling, Kristin Scott Thomas and Vithaya Pansringarm. It was shot on location in Bangkok, Thailand, and as with the director's earlier film Drive, it was also dedicated to Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky. The film competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.

Only God Forgives was released at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival to polarized reviews from critics who praised its soundtrack, action sequences and Refn's traditional style, but was heavily criticised for its screenwriting and characterization.
