>A movie this studded with beautiful people, surreal visuals, necrophilia and bloodlust has no right to be this deadly dull.
>Pretentious and self-indulgent, it seems tailor-made to appeal to lovers of the obtuse and inscrutable until it takes a left-turn into schlocky, gore-drenched splatter imagery.
>Things go downhill rapidly as the movie descends into horror material that is laughably grotesque yet so visually cool it remains fatally unfunny.
>It is as sordid as it is entertainingly preposterous, as the director makes a misguided attempt at mansplaining the fashion world of Los Angeles.
>Refn's urge to shock drives him to push things too far.
>...another bit of psuedo-stylistic rubbish by Refn...a horror film that includes graphic scenes of perversions like necrophilia and cannibalism...mind-numbingly slow...and stomach-turningly disgusting. Why it's not rated NC-17 is puzzling.
Typical plebeian critics not appreciating Refn for the aesthetic beauty in his work.
Xavier Cox
plebfilter: the movie
Juan Martin
Can't ____ the REFN
Jack King
Will I like this if I liked Valhalla Rising and Only God Forgives?
Sebastian Hughes
>mansplaining kek
Christopher Clark
>Mansplaining
Wtf? If the directory was a woman wuold that faggot critic have given it a posative review?
Camden Moore
yes
Easton King
>I use rotten tomatoes to enforce my opinion of a film
Jonathan Rogers
tbqhwy lads, Refn is my favorite director (because of OGF and Bleeder) and I though TND was kinda bad. It feels like blue balls; as soon as it seems it begins to explore the dark side of LA and Jesse it just finishes
Charles Foster
>people STILL can't appreciate the melodious beauty of Refn. Only God Forgives and Neon Demon are godsends.
Andrew Anderson
i've the same opinion
Aaron Cruz
>Only God Forgives Are there people that didn't like this movie? Based gosling.
Ryder Roberts
>mansplaining
Daniel Jones
>Elle Fanning
Casting this giraffe looking bitch was his first mistake.
Liam Jones
these dickless critics have just convinced me to see this movie
Aiden Johnson
This.
I watched OGF expecting to hate it, and in the end I thought it was amazing, it was a movie with incredible direction and souch a mysterious subtle vibe to it.
I haven't seen TND yet, but I expect to feel the same way as OGF.
Adam Moore
Neon Demon was pretty amazing in a cinema.
Jonathan Hernandez
>mansplaining
Carson Smith
Place beyond the pines was also a good one of his. TNG does look like it will be good.
Samuel Ramirez
>people who get paid to write film reviews unironically use the word "mansplaining"
Oliver Watson
I though it was good, but it fell a little short of my expectations.
James Peterson
>unfunny >mansplaning >psuedo-stylistic why are these people reviewing films?
Christian Walker
ND, OGF or Drive?
Cameron Sullivan
torrent when?
Jayden Cox
Haven't seen ND yet, but Drive beats OGF
Carson Williams
yeah, it ended too abruptly
Jonathan Sanders
My own pleb opinion
Drive > TND > OGF > Bronson > Valhalla rising
Landon Wood
Drive > TND > OGF
Brandon Foster
In truth, all of those criticisms seem like positives to me,
Ayden Long
OGF > Drive > TND
Jaxon Edwards
this never forget that these are the same people who booed OGF at Cannes
Cooper Green
None.
For good reason.
Aaron Scott
hehehehe it wasn't that bad
Brandon Morales
OGF>Drive=Bronson>Pusher III> Neon Demon> Pusher II > Valhalla Rising > Pusher I
Juan Mitchell
what about pusher remake?
Jose Turner
Haven't seen it. Wasn't NWR only executive producer though?
William Kelly
Style over Substance.
Gavin Brown
You haven't seen the film, have you?
Austin Russell
>Style over Substance.
first of all this is not a flaw
second it's simply not true
try again
Gavin Diaz
yeah he was. It was OK, but pretty much just bog standard chav getting himself in deep shit story with a cliffhanger ending that felt like something out of a trident gum commercial
William Perry
no doubt user. go see it
Eli Gomez
>second it's simply not true
Come back to me when Refn learns how to tell a story. For fuck sake, even the thread has degenerated into a 'muh beautiful visuals' circlejerk.
Landon Lopez
Not at all plebs love this flick
its tumblr: the movie
Lucas Walker
He does know how to tell a story though, OGF is the only film of his that didn't do it all that well, or rather it was just a normal revenge thriller with less dialogue to make it seem more original.
Logan Hall
Not really. Look, I think the critics are going overboard because the film isn't nearly as bad as they claim to be. The story was thin, and if I wanted to watch someone do suspense/horror with great cinematography and creative use of color, I'd stay home and watch old Bava films.
whoa! a link to a letterboxd review! you must have seen it and be completely right about it.
Kevin Gomez
>letterboxd
Jason Walker
Negative reviews make me want to watch something more. Too many shitty movies have been getting decent scores so I'm burned out on them.
Also >last part of the review is that the movie is too gross, totally valid reason for knocking points by the way >after saying the movie is too dull How does one get dully grossed out?
Henry Cruz
Fuck the critics. A good movie is a good movie doesn't matter if critics like it or not.
Ihave liked all of Refn's previous movies so it' very likely I'm gonna enjoy this one too.
We should all support filmmakers that make controversial, divisive movies that might upset some people and artistic vision is more important than pleasing certain demographics and ticking boxes or else all we're gonna get is capeshit and other shit like that.
Camden Bell
It's cool that there's at least one filmmaker out there who gets inspired by guys like Bava or Argento
Parker Barnes
...
Isaiah Bell
>people still don't realize that Refn's last three films are a trilogy on violent masculinity, emasculation and feminization respectively
Asher Myers
I'm curious on what Armomd white review is on the neon demon. Did he hate it or love it?
