Nocturnal Animals

Now this is a brilliant psychological thriller. I really love the concept of 3 narratives playing out. Susans empty present life, her past marriage with Edward and the violent novel written by him. The deep emotional impacts from these 3 narratives is really interesting. Susan marries Edward though her mother predicts that his lack of ambition would mean he'd amount to nothing. She soon grows impatient and has and affair, leaves Edward and aborts his baby leaving him alone and betrayed. The novel is really brutal with Tony having is his family and dignity taken away like Susan did with Edward. The twisted justice is painful and swift. Edwards ultimate revenge is ironic and deserved it ended a brilliant film off very well. **Sound & score - 7/10 Acting performances - 10/10 Plot & pacing - 10/10 Writing - 10/10 Cinematography - 8/10 Personal enjoyment - 9/10**
