Confidently dovetailing three strands that depict present and past reality, as well as a dark fictional detour that functions as a blunt real-life rebuke, the film once again demonstrates that Ford is both an intoxicating sensualist and an accomplished storyteller, with as fine an eye for character detail as he has for color and composition.
Nocturnal Animals employs one of the most inventive uses of neo noir tropes and techniques I have seen in recent years. Intense, insightful, and strangely powerful, Tom Ford’s adaptation of Austin Wright’s novel, Tony and Susan, assumes an intelligent audience.

I rate this movie 10
Apart from the fact that Tom Ford made his best to show his art in a total another industry he was successful on the result at the end of the day. creating two stories at the same time bringin the the stress mode to the audience and the chemistry between characters are the main items to mention to prove he was so successful in directing such a movie. I'd say I may not watch it again not bc it's a weak movie, but bc it made me so sad and kinda gave me a hectic feeling that I dont wanna experience it once again. I confess that if a movie could make me feel like this, so it's second to none in perfectness!!!!

Style is substance in Ford’s second film. Unlike many puzzle-piece movies, it thrills on every level.
There’s a mood, a feeling about life, that pervades Nocturnal Animals, one that’s expressed in visual terms.
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.
The juxtaposition of tone, theme and content in the narratives fails beyond the basic ideas. This leaves the capable Gyllenhaal to do little more than scream and rant hysterically.
This is a soulless endeavor that would alarm if Ford devised it on his own. Instead, he shares blame with Austen Wright's novel Tony and Susan, adapted into parallel narratives; one empty, the other leaking blood.
Jake gyllenhaal has done a classy job there which illuminates his acting skills , Too underrated actor.
Though Amy Adams has done a commendable job too along with other supporting cast but Jake stole the show.

Just bad, very bad. Absolutley not interesting story, silly acts of characters, and, thriller? Whaat? It is not thriller AT ALL. Wasting of time. Disappointed. 1.5 points just for pretty actress and 1.5 points for Gyllenhaal.
А теперь по-русски. Фильм настолько неинтересный, насколько он может быть, от некоторых действий персонажей ты КРИЧИШЬ от их тупости. Никакой развязки, никакого хитро-выебанного поворота сюжета, НИ-ЧЕ-ГО. Я потратил 2 часа жизни впустую (хотя было пару моментов, которые должны были быть страшными или удивительными, но я просто поржал от их тупости и нелепости). В общем если вы все-таки захотели посмотреть эту хуету, дайте себе пару сильных пощечин и проспитесь. 1.5 балла из трех за красивую героиню, 1.5 за Джилленхола.
