Elokuvapäiväkirja 2017 (315 movies items)"1.10. Kauhukuukausi on täällä! Ja voihan vittu! The Neon Demon jatkaa Refnin alamäkeä. Se ei oikeastaan ole ihan niin huono, mutta se on jotenkin turha. Jokainen kohtaus tuntuu vain tekniseltä kikkailulta, jossa kuvakulmat heijastuvat peilin kautta tai värit vääristyvät. Visuaalinen ilme on toki koukuttava ja musiikkivalinnat painostavia, mutta koko roska on käsittämättömän venytettyä skeidaa, jonka juonta ei voi kuvailla mitenkään. Vasta lopussa, kun se alkaa muodostua kiinno"
BradWesley123's Movie Journal- November 2016 (22 movies items)" Amazon Prime- 1hr. 57min. First Viewing Blunt, unsubtle and fairly derivative, The Neon Demon works more on the aesthetic front than on the storytelling one. The film is just marvelously made; the shots, the lighting, sound, makeup, sets, costumes are all worthy of awards. Winding Refn makes the film an alluring fever dream even at it's dullest moments. Had the story not been so damn unsubtle, allowing for genuine critiques or even satire, this could've been a classic. As it is, it is truly bea"

Films Watched in 2017 (225 movies items)"24.2. Oli epäilemättä virhe katsoa The Neon Demon samana päivänä Kiarostamin Tenin jälkeen, mutta valitettava alitajuinen vertailu Winding-Refnin uusimman elokuvan kanssa korosti ja alleviivasi sen totaalista ajatuksellista tyhjäkäyntiä. Ulkoisesti The Neon Demon on ihan komeaa karkkikauppaestetiikkaa sinertävine sävyineen, mutta mallimaailman pintaliitoblondien keskinäinen passiivis-aggressiivinen koheltaminen turrutti jo alkumetreillä. Mua ei oikeastaan missään vaiheessa kiinn"
50 Movies Watched in 2017 (50 movies items)" Um...wow. That's all one can really say after viewing this. Most people I encounter either love or hate this movie, there's no middle ground. Personally I loved it. Visually stunning, acting pretty good, phenomenal music, shocking ending. And to think, I just watched this for Keanu..."
My Movie Diary 2017 (217 movies items)"15 January. Elle Fanning as a fashion model with some demonic qualities give her an edge over others also become her downfall. Nicolas WInding Refn's dark tale of glamour gone bad adds to his resume a hip, hypnotizing neo-art. "
30 Favorite Films of 2016 (30 movies items)"The first film I saw in 2016 that blew me away was Nicolas Winding Refn's The Neon Demon. A phantasmagorical, seductively stylized, buffet for the senses. A wicked take down of a shallow L.A. landscape, which appears like a neon hell through a prism. I was glued to the screen, giddy to see how this would all play out. Where it goes is bonkers and batshit crazy, becoming all the more stranger, sinister, and mysterious with every moment that passes. Some have criticized it for being thinly written"

2017 movies (120 movies items)"Visually stunning, but it lacks something... depth, coherence, or maybe this is the case that less would be better."
Watched in 2017 (53 movies items)"1.1. The Neon Demon kritisoi populaarikulttuuria ja pinnallisuutta neonvaloloistossaan tyylikkäästi. Hahmot ovat tyhjiä, koska se tavallaan ruokkii elokuvan sanomaa ja teemaa, mutta samaan aikaan kuitenkin tuntuu, ettei missään hahmossa ole pahemmin tarttumapintaa ja siten koko elokuvassa. Jotenkin blackswanmainen, mutta sehän on parhaimmillaan vain imarteleva kehu."
