Visually stunning, with something clinical about the way it dissects the relationships it depicts (with heat, anxiety and fear). The film is revelatory in some ways, a study in how heartbreak can be as savage as physical assault. The story-within-a-story structure works, mostly, though it also halts the momentum at times. Still, Nocturnal Animals, which was inspired by Austin Wright's book Tony and Susan is certainly worth watching. And not just for Adams, who's impressive here, but also to witness writer-director Tom Ford's confidence. If only the film more closely embraced the emotions at its core.
