Gorgeously shot and deeply affecting, Tom Ford's packs a gut punch of a revenge tale into his sophomore effort.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 12, 2025

A slightly messy, but gorgeous sophomore outing from Tom Ford finds Adams playing against type in an understated tale of revenge. Gyllenhaal and Shannon are solid, and the tension in the highway scenes is palpable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 5, 2025

With great color, style and technique, Ford haunts the audience with the disappointments of our absurd world.

The film's emotions remain profound, unnerving, and at times downright spellbinding.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 5, 2022

Nocturnal Animals is a dark, dense, and beautifully crafted thriller with a killer ending that will stick with you long after it's over.

| Oct 22, 2021

Nocturnal Animals matches Tom Ford's A Single Man in terms of its visual vibrancy and solid performances, but it has opted to replace its beating heart with a leaden paperweight.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 17, 2021

A gripping and remarkably accomplished piece of storytelling...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 27, 2021

Yes, the performances are almost universally excellent, but the depictions don't seem to serve as much more than provocative material for a dirty, pulp story.

Some have been comparing it to the Holy Trinity of surreal noir, Hitchcock, Lynch and Kubrick, but for me it is more like a bloodspattered glossy magazine come to life.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 3, 2021

Nocturnal Animals' pristine, meticulous design and aesthetic choices, along with its big name cast and Fall release, will earn it the distinction of a "prestige drama" or, at best, "psychological thriller."

| Jan 4, 2021

The biggest problem isn't in the tone or the style or the delivery; it's in the irresolute payoff and the timidity of intentions.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 5, 2020

Tom Ford has crafted an exceptional film proving himself as a director to be taken seriously. He has a very specific style much like David Fincher or the Coen Brothers.

The kind of film that will be discussed and debated amongst those few with balls enough to venture into the indieplex to check it out.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 18, 2020

...violent, pretentious and misanthropic.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 27, 2020

I would still watch it, but it did definitely feel unfinished.

| May 7, 2020

The more I thought about it, the more I liked it.

| May 7, 2020

Nocturnal Animals is a one-of-a-kind experience. It's sexy, dangerous, horrific, and will linger with you long after it's over.
