Griffith J @griffithxjohnson Aug 6, 2026 Another strange fever dream from Refn that doesn’t quite live up to its own vision & potential. Yet it looks amazing with truly striking visuals & lighting that carry a clearly crafted tone. It’s very uncomfortable with a hostel & unsafe atmosphere at all times as each character feels untrustworthy from the start. There is almost a music video type of approach to some scenes with a score that pops & builds up the glamour of this film’s theme. An interesting idea to showcase the morally bankrupt issues that plague the fashion industry but it’s all heavy handed & underdeveloped. See more Anthony F @BokehMonster Jul 24, 2026 I dug it. Neon Demon immediately sets a vivid mood of the seductive power of raw beauty and the creatures who feed off of it. I loved the pace of the story, most of the casting/acting (sorry Keanu, not a good role for *anyone*), and each scene seemed to have a very strong direction that was self contained, well executed, and stylish -- sometimes at the cost of making the story feel choppy. And then of course, the whole story falls off the rails and it's never going to be called a great movie, but absolutely worth a watch if you like NWR's other work or stylish genere films in general.

See more Buddy W @BuddyW Feb 8, 2026 I like crap, but man this thing sucked. I can appreciate art-house movies (look at my review for Jack Be Nimble), but (insert curse word) did this movie suck. And the ending defies head scratching stupidity. I was actually angry that I'd wasted my time watching it.

I love artsy films- strange, make you think, etc. However, this was just pure nonsense. Limp, nonsensical 'plot', strange, uneasy and unfitting music and weak acting. I really wish I could get back these 2 hours of my life. Its left me angry and just sad. See more Roberto R @roby500 Jan 14, 2026 Terrible acting. The movie is pure nonsense. Waste of your time.
