The Neon Demon

Following a young girl as she tries to make it in the modelling world, she lies about her age to get ahead and is plunged into a superficial, soul destroying world were everybody is out for themselves and walk over each other to get to the top.
The photographers praise her looks which seems to make her more confident, while the models she meets just seem to bitch and moan at her in jealousy. The only one who seems to care is a make up artist, but does she have her own motives for this.

This seems to divide viewers, a lot seem to say it has no story and doesn't amount to much, others praise the style,music and subtext.

Personally i'm in the middle on this one,I did enjoy it but wouldn't say it shook my world. The story is slight but it is stylish and interesting and the music was good, i thought the performances were decent, there was some unexpected moments(necrophilia anyone) and a few tit shots.

All in all it's worth watching but for me wasn't particularly satisfying, I will watch it again sometime and i will be interested in seeing if i enjoy it more second time around.
