I recently watched Demonlover and it was the best film I've seen in a long time, would 100% recommend everyone watch. After finishing the film I was curious to see what critics thought about it and was shocked that neither they nor audiences enjoyed it.
There's a lot of great films with poor critic scores (eg. Con Air, Stepbrothers) but it's very rare that the audience score doesn't contradict it. The others I can think of are Only God Forgives and Alien 3 which I love and Neon Demon which I also really liked. I can understand with them why lots of people dislike them, the Demonlover hate is just baffling to me though.
Also the RT description and poster for Demonlover is so bad lol
Just remembered Universal: Soldier Day of Reckoning which has absolutely no right to be a great action film but somehow is brilliant
Monkeybone was pretty cool too
I'm actually remembering loads now

Refn and Gosling's next film after Drive. He plays the son of a drug lord in Bangkok whose brother gets killed and is dragged into trying to get revenge. It's much slower than Drive so people who went in expecting another Drive hated it when it came out. Even at Cannes it got a similar love/hate reception
even the letterboxd reviews are pretty much perfectly balanced

The acting from the mother killed it for me. Couldn't watch past her scene.

To be fair it might have been the writing. Some people write shit that just can't be said naturally.
I couldn't find the scene I remembered but look at this shit:
