In the neon-drenched, predatory world of Los Angeles fashion, Nicolas Winding Refn crafts a hypnotic and terrifying horror film that explores the dark side of beauty. The story follows Jesse, a stunningly innocent and ambitious young model played by Elle Fanning, who arrives in the city with dreams of stardom. Her ethereal, natural beauty quickly captivates the industry, making her an instant sensation and the object of intense envy from her more seasoned, jaded rivals. As Jesse’s star rises, she becomes the obsession of a group of jealous models, led by the predatory Gigi and Sarah, played by Bella Heathcote and Abbey Lee, who will stop at nothing to possess what she has. Complicating her ascent is a sleazy motel manager portrayed by Keanu Reeves and a nurturing makeup artist played by Jena Malone, whose intentions may not be as pure as they seem. With its slow-burn tension, stunning visual style, and unsettling atmosphere, this psychological thriller peels back the glamorous facade of the fashion world to reveal a monstrous hunger for youth and perfection, leading Jesse down a path of narcissism and into a nightmarish confrontation with those who covet her very essence.
