A film about a woman reading a book

Nocturnal Animals (2016)

Directed by Tom Ford this film based on the novel “Tony and Susan” stars Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal. A gallery owner suffering from rich woman problems reads a novel by her ex-husband about a man whose wife and daughter are murdered.

Doing a surprisingly good job of adapting the novel to the screen this film appears to be fairly faith to it's source material. I though that the two narratives fit together well and did a good job of exploring both the relationship between the characters as well as gender roles. There are good performances from the leads as well as an excellent supporting cast.


4/5
