"Ending was particularly rubbish buy I did stay for the credits."

the font was nice at the very end.

one thing i thought was that if this was made in the 80s it would prob have been more exploitative whereas in this, you never see EF naked, the scene with keanu and the knife is awful rather than titillating, etc etc. its weirdly sexless, the whole thing. very clinical.

I liked this a lot. Refn is still hamfisted in many ways but I think he's really found his "Refn Mach 2" style with this one. It's beautiful and vapid and egregious and still when you have a solid lead performance you can work wonders. Cinematography, editing and music very on point as well. Color me surprised.

A performance like Fanning's in this possibly one of the key missing elements in his last two films.
