Nocturnal Animals
Queer designer turned filmmaker Tom Ford makes a spectacular sophomore outing with his adaptation of Austin Wright’s book Nocturnal Animals. Ford already showed his potential with the queer-themed A Single Man back in 2009, from a novel by gay writer Christopher Isherwood.
Nocturnal Animals finds Ford in unfamiliar territory though. A movie that somehow manages to be a relationship drama, social commentary, and a white knuckle thriller, Ford gets two shattering performances from leads Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal. The film also features one of the most unique opening sequences ever, which must be seen to be believed. That Nocturnal Animals also features plenty of nudity from Gyllenhaal and Aaron Taylor-Johnson also provides an added bonus.
