Although Tom Ford represents a
fresh face behind the Hollywood cameras, his ambition is nonetheless very vast.
Hence, his second feature film, psychological thriller „Nocturnal animals'',
aims very high when it comes to hidden agenda, symbolism and metaphorical parallels
between the manuscript of a young writer (Jake Gyllenhaal) and the real
life he shared with his ex-partner, a young and aspiring artist (Amy Adams).
Visual impact of the lighting and
backdrops show a clear and refined taste that Tom Ford, being a man from
fashion industry, possesses. The atmosphere is beautifully sterile and
claustrophobic at the same time, and for that, the director deserves his credit.
Acting is pretty solid, led by Michael Shannon's impressive
miniature.
However, everything falls in front of
the pretentious, yet empty script, that does not evolve from the starting
premises and ends abruptly and without any clarifications.
„Nocturnal animals” is a typical new-age
Hollywood quality flick, being a feast for an eye and a disappointment
for the brain.
