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 too just saw this movie, and did not like it at all. The beginning was ok but then it just frankly got very weird. I agree, kind of "Black Swan ish" and very dark. Elle Fanning nor Keanu Reeves did themselves any favor being in this movie. jmho
