Nicolas Winding Refn
While it’s a hard watch, Too Old To Die Young is Nicolas Winding Refn’s finest work – a series to be savoured, mulled over and discovered again and again.
Too Old To Die Young might be exhausting, but both of these episodes with their shocks and new emotional layers are incredibly rewarding to watch.
Too Old To Die Young is an exhausting watch, we can only assume there will be a big reward at the end for us loyal viewers.
Though beautifully crafted, Too Old To Die Young is a slow and frustrating watch that’s hopefully worth it in the end.

Strong opinions abound for writer/director Nicolas Winding Refn’s work, which is to be expected when you make the kind of bold choices that he does. There’s not much middle ground when you drench things in violence and style, as people are either going to go with the heightened sensibility or not. The Neon Demon certainly won’t be changing that aspect of his M.
Cinematic failures appear in all shapes and sizes; some are critically acclaimed upon release only to become hated months later. Others get shunned by critics and audiences only to develop cult followings years later. In this day and age, where every other film has a sizable cult following, it is difficult to determine which films have truly earned their cult status.
Only God Forgives is a movie not for the faint of heart. It’s highly violent and highlights that violence as if it is a virtue. This movie wasn’t received by the critics nor by the public favorably, but I’d like to vouch for this movie.
