Synopsis | 3 stars out of 5 -- It features the excellent Elle Fanning whose insouciant freshness is a reason to keep watching: a quality which oddly survives her inevitable journey to the dark side.3 stars out of 5 -- What Refn is concerned with is image. The filmmaking on display is stunning, displaying a formal control that makes David Fincher look slap-dash.THE NEON DEMON features several moments of startling beauty. Some memorable dialogue scenes and several dream sequences are the moments in which Refn most obviously wears his influences on his sleeves.Languorously paced and literally dressed to kill, the movie is a corrosive attack on beauty -- or at least our soulless, corporatized definition of the term -- but it is also, above all else, a hypnotically beautiful object.4 stars out of 5 -- THE NEON DEMON is the most obviously outrageous movie Refn has ever made: an explicit horror thriller that periodically zones out into wordless drifting and ambient menace.4 stars out of 5 -- Swooningly filmed by Natasha Braier, THE NEON DEMON puts overtly ludicrous flesh on a satirical script co-written with the playwrights Mary Laws and Polly Stenham, bringing a Jacobean Ab Fab edge to the poisoned apple proceedings on which Refn feeds as hungrily as any spellbound princess.An aspiring 16-year-old model (Elle Fanning) moves to Los Angeles, where she quickly finds success after she is discovered by a makeup artist (Jena Malone) and signed by an agent (Christina Hendricks). However, her beauty also draws the attention of lecherous men, and provokes the jealousy of other women in showbiz. Bella Heathcote, Abbey Lee, and Keanu Reeves co-star. Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, THE NEON DEMON made its world premiere at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. |
