"Nocturnal Animals" pursues ambitions that often escape its grasps, but its striking style, twisty plot, and complex narrative structure are worthwhile.

Pulling no punches and helmed skillfully by director Tom Ford, it's consistently engaging for viewers as you don't know what happens next. And it makes you terrified to find out.

Michael Shannon and Jake Gyllenhall are one of the best working actors of this generation. And in this movie, both of them deliver such a raw and grounded performance that every actor would dream of …
