Review of The Neon Demon (2016) by Illegalmonkey — 31 Aug 2016
Pros:
Great visuals.
Great music.
Decent actors.
Keanu Reeves finally plays a character that isn't a stoic, know-it-all bad ass.
Cons:
Way too long. Could have done just as much with 90 minutes.
Too artsy-fartsy. The director/writerPros:

Cons:

Too artsy-fartsy. The director/writer relies too much on symbolism.
Billed as a drama, horror, thriller. Drama yes. Horror, not until the last 15 minutes of the 120 minute movie(seriously...). Thriller, barely.
In summary, this movie did not lack in crisp visuals or catchy music. It did however lack in story. I felt like my time was wasted when all I really wanted was more of the horror/thriller mixed in with the drama. The movie is 90% drama, 7% thriller and 3% horror.
