Nicolas Winding Refn’s films are always really good until the characters start saying things.

LucyMay 20, 2016K, time for an actual capsule review: The Neon Demon is an effective, albeit deeply disturbing commentary on physical artificiality and the social construction of beauty as the chief significance in not only the entertainment and fashion industries, but in life,…

#1 gizmo fanJun 21, 2016The Neon Demon is a lot of things. Transcendent, hypnotic, and stylish are a few words that come to mind. This film had me hooked from the beginning credit sequence and it never let me go. I'm still kind of in a daze to be honest. Every frame of The Neon Demon is executed…

Kayla lovedThe Neon DemonVery deep - cinematic - creative physchological. There’s two ways can look at it but all will digest the same, really makes you think and grip onto what trying to say.
hanne dislikedThe Neon Demonrating: 📐 can’t believe they wasted elle fanning, jenna malone, and keanu reeves on this. toothless movie that says nothing new with an even more hollow script. it gets lost in itself. 2010s tumblrina, suspiria wannabe, 2001 space odyssey “look at my cool shots!!” waste of time
vlada kaprese is "meh" onThe Neon Demoni think that if i watched it closer to its release date it would definitely have more effect on me… the cinematography was great but i think kinda… outdated? and i didn’t like AND understand how the narration suddenly became so abstract in the middle. but ending was good, ahaha)
- MovieDaddy lovedThe Neon Demon
This is an incredibly polarizing movie. Love or hate, not really any in-between. The story is pretty out there and the acting is very drone-ish. But it’s visually stunning and deeply psychological. Similar to something like Under The Skin, but no sci-fi element to it.
Alexa likedThe Neon DemonLike a lot of Refn’s work, this is hypnotic and captivating. Even at its slow points, the visuals are so strong, it’s hard to look away. That said, it’s thematically very messy. A movie about the evils of the fashion world and your villain is a predatory lesbian? Really?
Brook likedThe Neon DemonStarts off like a typical but intriguing movie, and about half way through divulges into a very abstract, symbolic, fever-dream experience. A little too artsy for my taste, but it was pretty cool. Characters were all wack, and some of the plot was confusing.
- Nadja dislikedThe Neon Demon
goes from tense black swan-like model industry drama to absolutely bonkers halfway through. theres so many long artsy shots with no dialogue that i got jumpy every time people actually started talking again.
Ellie is "meh" onThe Neon Demonheavy on the visuals and while they were stunning, it did leave the rest of the movie feeling empty so overall not as entertaining as i wanted it to be :/ but the color scheme slapped tho
Tatum dislikedThe Neon DemonBeautiful but lacked depth.

The polished assuredness under which Refn operates is considerable, and even appealing, and yet there’s always one element in any given scene — a music cue, a banal sound choice, a shot held until it screams “look at me” — that breaks the mood.

The Neon Demon is a tease. It starts off as a relatively scannable, user-friendly thriller, but it turns out to be a movie made by a macabre surrealist gross-out prankster.

The Neon Demon isn’t much of movie, at least if you’re looking for an actual story. Nor is it a moralistic fable about the emptiness of Hollywood—if anything, it’s a winking mockery of that sort of thing. But whatever the heck it is, it throws off a chilly, pleasurable sheen. This is visual hard candy.
