The Neon Man

About This Movie

The Neon Man is a gritty drama that dives into the unsettling life of a down-on-his-luck neon sign installer. The film captures a palpable sense of desperation and the grind of daily survival. There’s a rawness in the performances that really pulls you in, especially as our protagonist gets involved with these journalists, which leads to unexpected trouble. The pacing feels deliberately slow at times, building tension as the thugs close in. What stands out here are the moody, atmospheric visuals that reflect the neon world he inhabits, creating a stark contrast to his bleak reality. The film explores themes of desperation and moral choices, making it a unique piece, albeit with some rough edges in execution. Definitely worth a watch for those who appreciate lesser-known gems.
