Nocturnal Animals

"David Lynch meets Alfred Hitchcock meets Douglas Sirk in Nocturnal Animals, a sumptuously entertaining noir melodrama laced (...) Ford is both an intoxicating sensualist and an accomplished storyteller" 

"A suspenseful and intoxicating movie (...) 'Nocturnal Animals' (...) leaves no doubt as to Tom Ford’s fervor and originality as a director" 

"A bloodless, cold, self-congratulatory exercise in style for style’s sake (...) Movies with characters who have so much at stake should not hang on the screen like works of modern art (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" 

"'Nocturnal Animals' is an impressively ambitious effort, one part mean Texas thriller, one part middle-age melodrama, and makes for a meta-textual riddle that is almost as pleasurable to reflect on as it to actually watch" 

"There’s much to admire in 'Nocturnal Animals,' including Mr. Ford’s ambition, but too often it feels like the work of an observant student" 

"I’d love to tell you 'Nocturnal Animals' is a cinematic masterpiece, and for most of its running time, that’s what I was planning to do. You must see it. But a great movie requires a great ending, and 'Nocturnal Animals' doesn’t have one (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" 

"A stunning film noir that resonates with ghostly, poetic terror (...) The actors could not be better (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"
