Review of Nocturnal Animals (2016) by Anthony K — 03 Jan 2018

Unbearably gripping and tense, I have a hard time understanding exactly why Nocturnal Animals appears to be so divisive amongst the critics. I get that it's unpleasant, and crafted in a way that it might look like there's no point to such unpleasantness in the intermingled stories, but since when has ambiguity in art house film ever been an issue? At least it's not Irreversible or some shit, whose brutality comes off as pornographic shock.

I love, love, loved every minute of watching this film.
