  Nicolas Winding Refn’s films are always really good until the characters start saying things.

  K, time for an actual capsule review:
  The Neon Demon is an effective, albeit deeply disturbing commentary on physical artificiality and the social construction of beauty as the chief significance in not only the entertainment and fashion industries, but in life, relationships, everything.

  this is a terrible movie. it is deeply condescending and moralizing yet shallow and misogynistic, all at once. it glorifies stylized violence, and then refuses to own up to its own violence (seriously, you're gonna have a cannibal scene and not show any violence, but DO have a very long, male gaze shower scene with two models?). it screams about the exploitation of women, yet constantly mocks the character with plastic surgery and features the violent rape of 13-year-old runaway for No Legitimate Reason. this is a movie where everyone raves about how beautiful and magnetic the main character is, but she is given absolutely no defining characteristics whatsoever (sure, that could be the point, but WHY). this is the…
