At sixteen minutes I stopped and read the reviews on the library website. I liked Drive, but found it shallow and disappointing. Based on what others have said and what I saw, this is not a movie I will continue to watch. I gave it half a…

If you have seen any of Refn's films you will know what to expect. Most of the characters are pretty unlikeable, but that's how they are supposed to be. The gore is over the top and a lot of it is pretty ridiculous. I love it.

Incredibly stupid movie. Yes, I read the write ups about the deep symbolism and metaphor, but I live only in the real world and am not a part of the cult which the models, actors, entertainers, & all people who work in Hollywood entered…

if you find yourself feeling good and upbeat, this dark (literally and thematically) and depressing movie will take care of that.

This is a pretentious movies , but is supposed to be. It's about fashion industry and models . So basically pretty people doing weird stuff is good time on my book.

I managed to watch the whole movie, but it did feel like I lost 2 hours of my life without any satisfaction with this movie. Very forgettable movie, filled with bright lights and music but a waste of time..

I wish as much effort was put into the story as there was with the cinematography. The imagery was brilliant, but the film ultimately comes off as pretentious and completely misses the mark. The whole film feels very forced instead of…

I really dislike this movie and I don't like movies that have these hidden messages that your suppose to understand and strain your brain over. I really was sitting there figuring out more of why I kept watching this movie which did not…

Overrated, boring did lots of fast forwards. My library wasted money on this boondoggle. Never finished. Too many dark scenes.

It's hard to know what to do with this well-photographed but slightly half-baked art piece about jealousy and vengeance in the modeling world. The secret to enjoying it is to let go of some of your expectations and just enjoy the colors…

The Neon Demon is a dark & surreal foray into a world of sin. It is all about the fashion & modelling industry and the depraved depths that women can sink to when competing against each other. A very surreal and tense film about the…

If you want to understand how average women respond to women who are more beautiful than them, watch this movie. It may be classed as fiction but, for beautiful women throughout history, it's a true story.

Slow-paced and pretentious, I was hoping for a turn for the better in the story line but it never came. I got the impression it is the kind of film in which the director is obsessed with a lead actor, and in this case a lead actress, and…

A horrendous experience of a teen (runaway?) from a small town Georgia to pursue a modeling career in LA’s cut throat modeling world populated with “predators”. A curious watch is all. As others had pointed up, highly stylish…

This film had some interesting scenes, and some intriguing characters. The incredible power of beauty in our society can have some pretty ugly consequences. That being said, it's not very enjoyable to watch.

Not too great. It started out pretty good but three quarters of the way through it did not seem to make any sense.

This is a terrible movie. The director Refn thinks of a 16 year old girl in the fashion industry and decided to make a movie about it. Still, it is rich in symbolic imagery, and plentiful rich music tones provide a good context for the…

Poor, sad waste of time. I didn't even realize this is suppose to be a "horror" movie, it's just so bad.

I think Refn would make a great DP. I do not think he is a very good director. He's ok. This is a contrived, bloody excuse for people to watch pretty people consume each other. It's a little too on the nose. There are better satires…

I feel like I have to come to this film's rescue. It's a visceral, raw take on the fashion and fame industry, shattering the ideals of what is considered perfection. If you're going into this one thinking it's a jump scare horror flick,…

It starts out slow and gets WORSE! I couldn't get past the first 30 mins before I shut it off and moved to the next movie. This is a sloppy knockoff that sadly would compare to the movie 8MM with Nicolas Cage..but worse, way worse. Skip…

This is one movie Elle Fanning will later regret having made. I only made it halfway through the film and didn't want to waste any more of my time. Very disappointing film.

This film is from director of Drive, which I like a lot. Compare to Drive this film is not that great, I like the soundtrack though!

Not worth the time. Not a good film.
