Nocturnal Animals is strangely disturbing, beautifully scary, and quite confounding...in fact, I'm still trying to figure out what it is about, exactly...Judah Benjamin Swilley and I just went to see it, and speculated all the way home about the meaning of everything we just saw...neither of us is familiar with the novel, and I try not to read too much about a movie before seeing it, because I'm such a cinephile that I have a tendency to absorb so much information so quickly that I sometimes can't simply enjoy watching it because of over-preparation...so, in a word, we don't know what just hit us...
This one wasn't at all what I was expecting, even though I'm not really sure what I actually was expecting...I think I thought that it was going to be more of a suspense thriller than it was, even though that's kind of what it was...but it wasn't, really...
Tom Ford has a distinct directing style that I always find visually appealing, so I do enjoy feasting on the cinematic eye candy that he serves up, and the cast is absolutely first-rate...
Don't know if I can recommend, unless you're just a major fan of Amy Adams or Jake Gyllenhaal ...the ending left me unsettled, and I'm still reading about it online to better understand the whole thing...
