Nocturnal Animals

I had high expectations because A Single Man is the greatest **** ever and they were met, mostly. Great on a visual level and very intense with excellent use of parallel storytelling. The editing was weirdly inconsistent—scene transitions were generally amazing, but there was also a lot of sloppy Marvel-esque overcutting. Comparison is a cop out but it really did feel like a mesh of A Good Man Is Hard to Find, Blue Ruin, Midsommar, and Phantom Thread (in a good way).

Excited for what Tom Ford does next. He seems to prefer adapting novels, I could see him being able to pull of Rings of Saturn or House of Leaves. With the Blue Ruin similarities, it makes me think that Ford collaborating with Jeremy Saulnier would be amazing.
