Schönheit ist teuflisch.
Teenagerin Jesse ist neu in Los Angeles. Sie zieht in ein heruntergekommenes Motel, das vom dubiosen Hank geführt wird, findet aber schnell Anschluss in der fremden Stadt: Stylistin Ruby bemerkt, was für ein Talent in Jesse steckt und will ihr dabei helfen, den Traum von der Modelkarriere zu verwirklichen. Wenig später hat Jesse mit Jan dann auch schon eine Top-Agentin und wird von einem Fotografen zum nächsten geschickt. Die junge Frau, naiv und betont keusch im Auftreten, taucht immer tiefer in die Glitzerwelt aus dekadenten Partys und schicken Shootings ein. Konkurrentinnen wie den Models Sarah und Gigi bleibt nicht verborgen, wer da zum neuen Liebling der Szene aufsteigt. Bald wird es für Jesse sehr gefährlich …

Disturbing, stylistic snoozefest. Painful to get through the whole movie.
I don't wanna be them, they want to be me.
WTF did i just watch? Seriously! This is one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. I love this kind of movies. Nicolas Winding Refn tells in a brilliant way the cruel world of fashion. "The Neon Demon" take a turn in the third act that doesn't feel out of place, however will shock many people. The cinematography is beautiful and the performances are great, especially Elle Fanning and Jena Mallone. A disturbing movie but beautiful to watch. This is gonna be a classic in the future.
"The Neon Demon" it's an alluring and mesmerizing minimal film. With this movie, Nicolas Winding Refn absolutely masters the art of image and sound (what a stunning soundtrack!) and makes a perfect balance between the two of them, from start to end, which compensate the lack of narrative. The first half of the movie (storytelling/innocence) feels longer than it should be and the second part (the tension) feels very rushed, which could be better explored than it is. The movie should have been longer. Still, it's a good cinematic experience, a fresh and modern art film. Always voyeuristic, always cruel and always fearless but, not as good as the previous works. "Beauty isn't everything. It's the only thing".
The Neon Demon is a horror movie? starring Elle Fanning, Jena Malone, and Keanu Reeves. There’s so much artistic douchebaggery going on that it’s hard to get a handle on what kind of film this is. The story is your basic naïve teenage girl coming to Los Angeles to make it as a fashion model and finding that success inspires the homicidal envy of her peers. The sets and costume designs are incredibly well-done, and create a very visually rich look. But with all the symbolism and metaphors going on, it’s really difficult to follow the plot. A problematic film, The Neon Demon is a fascinating dark fairy tale that’s just too artistic for its own good.
