Has the same director as Drive. Apparently its a very fricked up film and almost got an NC-17 rating. Anyone going to see it or has seen it?

Haven't seen it but the movie's title is Neon Demon in case the thread title causes confusion.

Reviews are kinda mixed but that expected with Refn's movies. I really liked Only God Forgives and that got mostly bad reviews. I think I'll see Neon Demon if it comes to theaters around here.

Just saw this and liked it. It had more of a David Lynch feel to it than anything Refn has done. Reminded me a lot of Mulholland Drive. It had a dreamy, surreal kind of quality to it.
The acting was mostly cold and emotionless but worked for this story. The music was very good. It was more synthpop like in Drive but with a darker tone. The overall look of the movie was pretty good too, although it was kinda dark at times.
This is a weird movie and not certainly not for everyone. I think most people will say nothing happens or they didn't get it but that's not true at all. There are a few kinda disturbing scenes if you're the sensitive type.
This movie makes for a good trilogy on the darker side of fame with Mulholland Drive and Black Swan. Fans of those movies would enjoy this one.

I loved it. Way weirder than any of his other films and doesn't have a lot of dialogue or action. Creepy in a good way. Elle Fanning is a smoke show in this film. Most people will hate this film and say nothing happens.
