To those who got confused and didn't get it, the novel in the story is an allegory to their actual marriage that ended badly 20 years ago. Edward sending the manuscript and contacting her again is part of his revenge. He made her feel sorry for herself and for her life that she chose over him. BY STANDING HER UP, he also made her feel lonely, and how it feels to be abandoned. And the cherry on top is that he wrote novel about it, a big slap on the face because when they were together, she thought he wasn't creative enough.

Michael Shannon as an almost no backstory, kind of tragic and complete badass with nothing to lose after his diagnosis, is one of my favorite character types. Doing whatever it takes to see evil die before he does. Amazing actor!

Amy Adams looks remarkably like 90s era Nicole Kidman in this.

I loved this movie. Definitely one that makes you think into the long night

Nocturnal Animals is a mesmerizing film. 10/10.

Amy Adams and Michael Shannon are long overdue for an Oscar. They are the DiCaprios of this era.

The "coldness" of the film was due to it being from Amy Adams' character's perspective. And yes, the road scene hit me in the chest like a bag of bricks.

"2 Cold 2 Calculating"... starring Vin Diesel.

I really do like Michael Shannon. He always scared me ever since I first saw him in BoardWalk Empire. Top actor.

Can we appreciate the Renaissance man that is Tom Ford? Guy is super talented.

To those criticising the opening credits, I think they are an important moment in the film, they represent everything Susan's character is not. They, their bodies, do not conform to what society tells us our bodies should be/look like. Susan is women who is constantly following what society and her mother says she should be. They are free, naked, nude, liberated. they dance with out a care. They are the very opposite of Susan who is trapped in another world so to speak.

Good to see Zawe Ashton getting more work!

What's better than a month with a new Amy Adams film?* A month with two new Amy Adams films! Can't wait to see both this and Arrival next weekend.

This is an exceptional film. The score is just haunting.

I really want to see this film. I'm a huge Jake Gyllenhaal fan.

Stumbled on this movie one day as it was playing on a movie channel. Had never heard of it, and was not prepared in the slightest. Amazing performances, direction, cinematography, and writing. The themes of this movie really spoke to me, and that gut punch of an ending has me thinking about it, years later. I have been recommending it to everyone I meet ever since.

What a great explanation of the film's character.

A very decent effort by Tom Ford, I agree. Beautifully shot, but sometimes he got carried away with style just a bit too much. Might see it again. and "Neon Demon" too.:)

Great film, but could of done without the opening sequence. Those who have seen it will know what I mean

I’ll never be able to afford Tom Ford clothes but I can buy a cinema ticket... I wish he’d do more films haha
