Nocturnal Animals

Nocturnal Animals starring Amy Adams, and Jake Gyllenhaal is the debut film of director Tom Ford, who is best known for being a high end fashion designer and having a clothing line named after himself. Tom Ford really went out of his way in this film, pulling out all the stops. The plot of the film begins with Amy Adams' character Susan Morrow, a successful art dealer, receiving a letter from her ex-husband that contains his newly released book titled, Nocturnal Animals. As she reads the book she notices the symbolism of the book, and the dark past it represents. That is all I can tell you, for me not to ruin the illusion this film sets out to have. This is truly an extraordinary motion picture, all of the actors in this film were great, the casting of this film was brilliant, as they hired Isla Fisher for the film, an actress that is often confused with actress Amy Adams,  this is a symbolic character as you will see in the film. Michael Shannon also stars in the film, he played his part so perfectly, every time he was on screen, he stole the show. The cinematography was excellent, the scenes set the mood of the film perfectly, and the wardrobe was top notch. I would recommend this film if your a fan of symbolism, and suspense thrillers. This film takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions, you actually related to the characters in a very real way, you put yourself in their shoes when they have to face a moral decision, and it is almost too real. This film is definitely not for children, but its a great time for adults. For my final verdict, I award Nocturnal Animals 4.5 out of 5 stars.
