This movie and especially the director in every one of his movies(except drive) tries too hard to be "bold", "chic", "modern", "artistic". "Tries to hard" to be all these things but these movies come out just a laughing stock or sometimes even a snooze fest. This movie had every bad quality about Nicolas but it was not boring or slow at least. You can adore the Cinematography and the setting. The Neon Demon had substance but this movie is just flat out weird and trying so hard that it's laughable now. Cheers.
