Review of The Neon Demon (2016) by Viet Phuong N — 12 Jul 2016

Style over substance, that's all I can say about this film. If "Only God Forgive " still gave me interesting characters, the character development is paper-thin with a subpar cast, especially the lead Elle Fanning.

This film is more an artsy experience than a fully-developed cinematic work. I can only hope that with this step down, Nicolas Winding Refn will spend more time to nurture a better "skeleton" of script and characters for his "meat" - visual and soundtrack.
