A highly unconventional film that touches on the fashion industry was released in May 2016. The film was the most scandalous film at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, garnering a lot of negative reviews.

The genre in which "The Neon Demon" is presented is
horror, which is basically unusual and kills two birds at once. Namely - it interests "
fashionistas", who want to enjoy a beautiful picture and plunge for at least an hour and a half into the world of fashion, and lovers to tickle nerves, who do not care at all in what sphere the bloodthirsty events take place, as long as it is realistic, with a good performance of actors and, of course, not exhausted plot.
The question arises as to what caused movie critics to unleash a wave of negativity on the "terrible" fashion film.

Strange as it may seem, the plot of the movie is about a sixteen-year-old girl who came to Los Angeles to build a career as a model. This is where the unpretentiousness of the picture ends and the most interesting things begin.
It's no secret that the level of competition in the fashion industry is off the charts, and that's what the director staked on, so there are no maniacs or love affairs in the movie.
The young girl's obsessive rivals are willing to go to great lengths to not just get her out of the way, but to get their hands on her beauty.
The light in which this was presented is simply unimaginable and may sound like the ravings of a lunatic, but as the saying goes, "
Taste and color". If you like
cannibalism and can tolerate necrophilia normally, then the movie is worth watching.

Otherwise, it is better to abstain, because, as it is already clear, the aesthetics in this movie will be superficial, you can even refer it to the gaining popularity of the current "aesthetics of the disgusting".
