Movie starts banging your head right from the start as story doesn't take much time to build up. i assume i would reveal too much about the plot if i write much but believe me all thriller/drama guys ...u will get a hangover with it. YOU want one ..well this the one right here without any booze. coming down to tech aspects ...well shot and lens colors used are brilliant ..remember PRISONERS ..shrewd editing has put thrilling energy in this movie. acting...well we all know JAKE and AMY how well they act and they have put a remarkable show again.. parallel shots running ....man again i remark EDITING ...hats off. Must Watch in short...i am in thoughts..cant write much..

I like this other wife lady.Intense.I sure as hell don't want Michael Shannon interrogating me.Very intense.

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.

The opening credits feature some morbidly obese women dancing naked and it's enough to make you vomit. And I see not point why this is in the picture. The rest of movie is a study in strong violence and language, so if you like lots of "f" words and brutal violence, then this is the movie for you. And then they throw in some Evangelical Christian bashing directed it at Laura Linney's character and once again there is no point for this being in the movie at all. I think they tried to make a shocker like Silence Lambs or Blue Velvet, but it just didn't work for me.
