Nocturnal Animals

Glamorous but unfulfilled L.A. art gallery owner Susan Morrow (Amy Adams) unexpectedly received galley proofs of a novel by Edward Sheffield (Jake Gyllenhaal), the ex-husband she hadn’t spoken to in years. As she immerses herself in the book’s desert-set terror-and-revenge narrative, she finds disturbing parallels to her course of her relationship with Edward, and sobering revelations about her own nagging self-doubts. Tom Ford’s stylish story-within-a-story stunner co-stars Michael Shannon, Isla Fisher, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Armie Hammer. 116 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
