Editorial Reviews
Academy Award nominees Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal star in this haunting romantic thriller from acclaimed writer/director Tom Ford (A Single Man). Susan (Amy Adams) is living through an unfulfilling marriage when she receives a package containing a novel manuscript from her ex-husband, Edward (Jake Gyllenhaal). The novel is dedicated to her but its content is violent and devastating. Susan cannot help but reminisce over her past love story with the author. Increasingly she interprets the book as a tale of revenge, a tale that forces her to re-evaluate the choices that she has made, and reawakens a love that she feared was lost. Also starring Armie Hammer and Michael Shannon, Nocturnal Animals is a thriller of shocking intimacy and gripping tension.

Clothing designer and Vanity Fair favorite Tom Ford proves it here. This movie is a pointless mess.
Nocturnal Animals is about a Texas expat girl-turned trendy art gallery executive in too-chic-for-you LA. She is tired and in an unhappy second marriage. Then her Texas expat ex-husband, who is trying to make it in too-smart-for-you NYC sends her a proof of his book. She reads it. He is in LA for business and offers to meet up. She agrees to meet him at a restaurant. He stands her up. She sits in the restaurant alone and sad.
That's it. Then the movie abruptly ends. No resolutions, no plot twist, no real story. This may mean to the white-wine-in-the-Hamptons crowd that Tom Ford is brilliant, but he's not... he just insulted you, the viewer. He just wasted your time. This is a mediocre movie. There are some flashbacks about these two follow-your-heart Texas kids, and why their marriage ended, but that doesn't make this a coherent movie either.
In fact, most of the movie shows what the girl is reading in her ex-husband's book. And it's a nightmarish book about psychopaths who terrorize an out-of-town, trendy family out in the barren hellscape of West Texas, then rape and murder the wife and daughter. And how that really doesn't bother West Texas, And how the husband/father and the dying, grizzled West Texas detective team up to take the law into their own hands and kill the psychopaths.
So Nocturnal Animals is a mediocre movie about a sad girl reading a bad book. Then she tries to meet the author. Then he stands her up. Then she is sad again. That's it. That's the entire movie. Please don't encourage Tom Ford to think he's a good director.
Oh, and he seems to have a real hate for the State of Texas. This movie pounds you over the head with the message that the smart kids of Texas need to flee the State. Again, either to trendy LA or chic NYC.
A mediocre movie with an insulting ending. Don't stroke Tom Ford's ego by watching it.
1) 85 % of the film is Susan Morrow's visualization while reading the novel "Nocturnal Animals" It's so obvious.. there are Beckett and Albee parts of the script where the characters run out out of things to say, -- Brilliant!
2) 10 % of the movie is in the present.
3) 5 % is the past.
so.. watch it again.. I rented this twice and finally bought it because there was brilliance here that I had to figure out.
Now.. why did Tony Hastings (novel writer and former husband to Susan) write this Novel?? There you go! that's why this is a masterpiece!

Finally, while the movie covers some violent acts, including rape (all in the characters novel), none of the scenes are particularly graphic and the rape scene is suggested rather than explicit. Mostly it was psychologically disturbing which is what thrillers often are.
A woman played by Amy Adams (a very talented actress although the parts she plays do not always do her justice) is prompted to re-evaluate the life choices she made some years ago, when to her surprise she is sent the manuscript of a novel by a writer whom she almost married and started a family with some years ago, when he was unpublished and had no sure career future.
At the time, partly on her parents’ advice, she decided marrying a businessman and a career managing a pretentious modern art gallery were better prospects. Reading the novel, about a family who suffer a grim fate when set upon by thugs one night in a remote part of Texas, she realises that it is in some sense about the family life she and the writer could have had together, and the writer’s feeling that she ‘killed’ it when she left him.
Personally I think the writer is overdoing things although I think we are supposed to sympathise with his point of view.
Some of the film is about Amy Adams’ character’s actual life; some of it is dramatised scenes from the novel. The ending of the film is surprisingly uneventful, but is meant to imply that writing or reading the novel has allowed them both to move on emotionally.
There were two parts to this film that I disliked watching.
The first is the opening scene which for reasons not initially explained but which turn out to be something to do with modern art, consists of fat, wrinkly, aged women dancing absolutely naked. The sight of all that droopy old flesh may put young men who see this film permanently off the idea of marriage, if that is what their wife’s body will look like one day.
The second is when the family fall victim to violent thugs at night on a desert road in Texas, and the daughter and wife are snatched away to unpleasant fates. This is not a horror or blood and guts film and the bad part is as much what we imagine happening as actually see on the screen.
A well-made film that leaves the viewer with some vivid memories. Those who are not too squeamish and who like serious-minded films about relationships may well be enthusiastic about 'Nocturnal Animals', but it is not the kind of film I personally would particularly seek out again.
It turns out to be a bleak story about a married couple going on a trip with their teenage daughter. Their car gets run off the road by a group of crazy rednecks leading to his wife and daughter being taken from him and then subsequently raped and murdered. As she continues to read, Adams begins to have a lot of flashbacks of her former relationship with Gyllenhall as in many ways the story seems to mirror what happened in their marriage together. She left him for another man and then discovering that she was pregnant with Gyllenhall’s child, decided to have an abortion leaving him devastated.
Excellent performances from Adams and Shannon who plays the lawman that tries to bring the criminals to justice (in the book).
After my first watch i thought the film was ultimately shallow however on my second viewing there is more depth to it than i first thought.
Amy Adams is phenomenal as always, this and Arrival in the same year with no Oscar nomination, what the hell happened there?
