This film fucked me the whole way up. Shook. Shooken to the core.

Tries to sell something big, but in the end it's nothing...

It is one of those movies that leaves it up to the viewers to interpret its meaning. Will leave you pondering about what you just saw even after it ends... and maybe that's what it sets out to do.

Gyllenhaal is on top form here.

The film wins the award for "_weirdest opening to a film_". **Ever.**

It's the morning after and I still don't know what to feel about this film. It was much heavier than I was expecting, that's for sure!
The theme is dark and powerful and the parallels drawn are interesting.
Was the book and the journey it took Susan on some kind of belated 'punishment' for aborting his child all those years ago? Was it just art to share with her to show her that he could do it? Standing her up at the end implies the former but who can really say. It's always nice to watch a film outside the hollywood template but did this one try _too_ hard?

Like the art in Susan's gallery it's all subjective. All I know is it took me on a journey and drew me in successfully. The tension in that first section of the book was overwhelming. Incredible acting as always from Amy; Gyllenhaal, Shannon and Taylor-Johnson were stand out too though. I loved the way the director frequently framed Amy with a solid black background or with the red of her office. Some really striking visuals for her scenes.

This movie is like poetry. Looks and sounds great but I don't get it.

Best Movie Quote:
When you love someone you have to be careful with it, you might never get it again.

Nocturnal Animals is your favorite worst nightmare. Dark twisted semi-violent story keeps u on edge, with top notch acting.
All those vivid visuals plus somewhat kubrick-ish scenes makes me wish my eyes would stop blinking for a whole two hours just so i don't miss a thing

Could have been a really great movie, but do you know the story about the soufflé who collapse ?
