Flickering Myth reviewed The Neon Demon and gave it 4/5 stars. there comments on Keanu and overall assessment of the film are below.
Jesse’s other encounters with the players in her new world are with a dead-eyed creep photographer named Jack (Desmond Harrington) and the pervy boss of the motel she’s staying at, played by a slumming (but well cast) Keanu Reeves. (bolding mine)
Refn’s The Neon Demon is quite a unique film. It’s polarizing, certainly, but like most of his movies, it’s a bitter pill when swallowed, but the afterglow is strong and pervasive. You’ve got to have a strong cinematic pallet to really dig your teeth into his work and allow yourself to savor the flavors he’s cooked up, and this time he’s served up his coldest meal yet. But it’s gorgeous.
Den of Geek posted a piece on ‘Eight Powerfully Effective Voice-Overs in Modern Movies’. A Scanner Darkly was among the films and they said the following about keanu:
Reeves isn’t necessarily known for the power and range of his acting, but his voice-over work is outstanding in A Scanner Darkly. The story is about a character spying on himself and failing to recognise what he sees. The narration gives this blackly comic sci-fi drama an almost painfully raw, tragic edge.
