Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 Oct 24, 2026 A beautiful nightmare. Nicolas Winding Refn‘s psychological LA set horror is as beautiful as it is shocking with some spectacular performances and an awesome soundtrack and might by my favourite film from the danish auteur See more B P @Bradster69 Sep 15, 2026 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more 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 steven A @steve395 Apr 3, 2026 one of the worst scripts and convoluted films of all times. the only positive was the cinematography. why would anyone finance this and why would Fanning appear in it? 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. See more Read all reviews
