All joking aside, the film falls somewhere between the commercial entertainment of
Drive and the arty aethetic of
only god forgives. As a result it'll leave some of its audience walking away and scratching their heads. the rest will probably dig it. Essenntially its Refn's f*** you to hollywood, with a plot that uses the fashion industry to skewer a system where true originality is literally devoured by the fake, sycophantic wannabees who desperately aspire to be the same. It looks amazing, has some weird animal symbology, cougars, stuffed leopards and wolves as well as Keanu reeves playing the nastiest bastard of his carrer. Watch it but I can't guarantee you'll like it.
