Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, The Neon Demon is worth clearing space for. Character-driven storytelling at its most effective — The Neon Demon earns every emotional beat it goes for. When aspiring model Jesse moves to Los Angeles, her youth and vitality are devoured by a group of beauty-obsessed women who will take any means necessary to get what she has. The performances from Elle Fanning and Karl Glusman give it more weight than the premise alone would suggest. It hit screens in 2016. The Neon Demon resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Viewers drawn to character-driven storytelling will find plenty to sit with in The Neon Demon. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Elle Fanning carries the material with a performance that rewards close attention. Worth starting sooner rather than later.
