Nocturnal Animals
# 15 Oscar Nominees
I watched this film a week ago and it stuck with me for quite a few days. For a film that felt so silly and predictable whilst watching it, I couldn't help but feel haunted by it. 241
Perhaps it was the cinematography and that last, lingering shot of <PERSON>, I'm not sure.
It is a film that I would describe as being nothing more than style over substance but there is something there that makes it more than that.
<PERSON> was so great in this as detective, ill in both mind and body, he was the only thing that was truly interesting. The relationship between <PERSON> and <PERSON>'s characters, which is shown purely in flashbacks, is flimsy at best. <PERSON> is frozen and teary-eyed throughout while <PERSON> screams -- a lot.
I think that what haunts me is that something that I know, or wish, is there. 698
