neutral · AI labelView post →I knew Tom Ford as a designer before I knew he was also a filmmaker and I loved NOCTURNAL ANIMALS. Today I discovered his directorial debut, A SINGLE MAN (2009), a dizzingly gorgeous portrayal of grief, love, and the beauty of life. Incredible film. #filmsky

If he gets cast as the new James Bond it'll be all over between me and 007. (I thought he was very good in NOCTURNAL ANIMALS & that's about it.)

negative · AI labelView post →10 years ago, I saw NOCTURNAL ANIMALS in theaters 3 times. It was my first year of my brain being in “film analysis” mode so it’s always held a special place in my heart, warts and all. Whatever you think about the film, Tom Ford did the thing: putting Amy Adams and Isla Fischer in the same movie
positive · AI labelView post →Nocturnal Animals. There are films that are plain bad, then there are films that are bad and just simply ugly. A deeply bad, ugly film.

neutral · AI labelView post →We watched Nocturnal Animals on our first date. Good movie, bad choice.
neutral · AI labelView post →Today is #letterboxdfriday, here are my last four watched movies! Lost Highway was such a vibe! Queer is beautifully made and acted, wish it had a more satisfying narrative. Only Lovers Left Alive is so much my kind of shit! Nocturnal Animals was a good movie, but I didn't enjoy the experience much.
neutral · AI labelView post →Nocturnal Animals Movie about a avenging a spouse and about a book about revenge on a partner
neutral · AI labelView post →Might have mentioned this before. Amy Adams and Isla Fisher are both in the film NOCTURNAL ANIMALS, but I didn’t realize it while I was watching it; I thought they were the same woman. And that film already has a mind of weird Lynchian narrative, so it never even occurred to me that it was strange.

neutral · AI labelView post →Beautiful movie in every way, made with a true designer’s eye. His next movie Nocturnal Animals is just as good, if very different.

neutral · AI labelView post →Hates everything but Nocturnal Animals, a film so despicable and disturbing it shouldn't be allowed to exist. He adored it.
positive · AI labelView post →You know what movie was pretty good and you never hear anyone talk about anymore? Tom Ford’s NOCTURNAL ANIMALS. I remember liking it and then basically not hearing anything about it ever again.
positive · AI labelView post →You could re-edit Nocturnal Animals so that the book Amy Adams is reading is literally any other Jake Gyllenhaal movie, and in most cases you would improve it. (In a few cases, like Prince of Persia, you'd improve both movies by making the whole thing funny.)

neutral · AI labelView post →It still kind of annoys me that Tom Ford is as good a filmmaker as he is, in addition to all the other things he's succeeded at in life, but I am so excited that he's finally making another movie a decade after Nocturnal Animals.
neutral · AI labelView post →Nocturnal Animals. This movie is a definite favorite of mine. I saw the movie for the first time on its opening day. I loved the movie so much that I saw it twice more during its theatrical run. I love Jake Gyllenhaal's performance. It is one of my favorite elements of the movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Is it weird that I like Chris Pine movies a lot and will probably watch them if he's in it. I watched All the Old Knives tonight and really enjoyed it. Had a nice glossy feel to it, a bit like the Real Life scenes in Nocturnal Animals. The Contractor was also a fun dumb movie. He seems cool.
neutral · AI labelView post →Nocturnal Animals? That film is fire.
positive · AI labelView post →Too many people are sleeping on Nocturnal Animals, we’ve been over this haha and yes, we need a new Tom Ford movie asap.
positive · AI labelView post →some of my favorite cinematography of the 21st century part 5 Nocturnal Animals A divisive film…but even the haters have to admit it’s visually impressive/expertly crafted. Tom Ford has a real talent for making quality movies and I certainly wish he’d fully pivot from fashion into filmmaking tbh!
positive · AI labelView post →DUDE. I needed another movie to watch before Letterboxd Friday and I’m gonna watch Nocturnal Animals because it’s been yeeeears.
neutral · AI labelView post →Nocturnal Animals and Drive were both excellent movies! Lore unlock moment: When I was working as a manager at a theater when Drive came out, a guy once asked me for a refund because "the movie was called Drive, but there was hardly any driving." 😜
positive · AI labelView post →Nightcrawler was phenomenal. If you like Jake Gyllenhaal in thrillers, I would highly recommend Nocturnal Animals. There some triggering scenes, but the film is great. I also like Drive with Ryan Gosling too.
positive · AI labelView post →been in a phase of watching Jake Gyllenhaal movies and rewatched Nocturnal Animals last night. I really like that movie. the ending is so perfect.
positive · AI labelView post →Nice mention of Michael Shannon, what a presence. I would have thought Nocturnal Animals was a joke a flick if not for his tour-de-force performance. Yeah, it's a shame. The only movie(s) Brody has ever slightly stood out to me I think was either Predators (2010) or Lee's Summer Of Sam.
neutral · AI labelView post →Aaron Taylor-Johnson is an exceptional actor, but he keeps ending up in mediocre films. For those unfamiliar with his work, I highly recommend "Nocturnal Animals," a brilliant film in which Taylor-Johnson delivers an outstanding performance in what he calls the "darkest role he's ever played."
positive · AI labelView post →Best thing I read in 2024? I think it’s got to be Tony & Susan by Austin Wright. The (excellent) film Nocturnal Animals starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams was based on it. A semi-neglected masterpiece full of taut writing and brilliant observation. Recommended! #writingcommunity
neutral · AI labelView post →He does a good job in Nocturnal Animals too (fucked up movie though)
neutral · AI labelView post →On this day in movie history: Nocturnal Animals directed by Tom Ford released November 23, 2016. Cast: Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, Armie Hammer, Laura Linney, Andrea Riseborough, Michael Sheen, Bobbi Menuez, Zawe Ashton, Jena Malone, Neil Jackson, Kristin Bauer, Michael Shannon, Isla Fisher.
neutral · AI labelView post →Nocturnal Animals is my "pretentious" movie pick. This movie is heavy and devastating. Amy Adams gives her greatest performance in this movie, IMO. This film is a commentary on social class and the production and consumption of art. Made my stomach turn, but I can't stop thinking about film.
positive · AI labelView post →Nocturnal Animals is a really intense film. Recommended. On Prime in Canada.
positive · AI labelView post →Just that graphic shape giving strong 2016 vibes, when I walked into a screening of NOCTURNAL ANIMALS just as it was shifting from Clinton having it in the tank to something much uglier Didn't like that movie much but as a red state revenge on elites it fit the moment
