The Neon Demon: Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. With Elle Fanning, Karl Glusman, Jena Malone, Bella Heathcote. An aspiring model, Jesse, is new to Los Angeles. However, her beauty and youth, which generate intense fascination and jealousy within the fashion industry, may prove themselves sinister.

“It drags a bit at points, but it is an intentional slow burn. The visuals and music were stunning and the real star of the show. Itu0026#39;s a bit hard to see the acting as intentionally plastic and not just bad acting, but that probably was the point. Thought that some scenes may have been overkill, shock for shocks sake. Finale served a purpose artistically and justified the slow build. Some of the points made by the film were obvious (the modelling industry is vacuous, duh) and have been explored before (black swan, susperia, whiplash), but I donu0026#39;t always see a little style over substance to be a capitol offence. Overall good experience.”
