nataliesinnadurai The beauty of the cinematography & the acting doesn't detract from the misogyny. Hopefully films like this won't be made frequently as women will realise they don't need to submit to the pressure as a result of #metoo.
hrkepler Sleek, stylish, well acted. 'Nocturnal Animals' is fashion designer turned director Tom Ford's (with whom I wasn't familiar before) second movie. Visually beautiful to look at it, but it's actually more shallow than it looks at first glance - but that doesn't mean it's bad film. The structure of the film and how these stories are connected gives little to think over after the film is finished. Melodrama, mixed with tragic and violent revenge tale with little lynchian vibe. I love how Tom Ford used two different time lines and a (parallel) fantasy universe to tell one story. Interesting angle is that we actually don't meet one of the main characters - we see him only through other character's perspective. Acting works were mainly fantastic starting from to leads Amy Adams (she deserves another Oscar nomination for her performance), Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Shannon and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.Ambitious and ambiguous 'Nocturnal Animals' offers wonderful visual storytelling with great performances and many ways to analyze the film. Not a masterpiece, but worth to watch.
david hollyfield A return to the great film making of the early eighties.Intense psychological drama with an embedded murder thriller.The story within the story is gripping and heartbreaking and as it unfolds so the story of the protagonist's relationship the author of the murder story becomes as devastating and heartbreaking.This is highly polished screenwriting and directing, with consummate performances from all the players.I was tempted to give it a 10, but I just don't do that anymore. Nothing is perfect, but this film comes very close.
