    This gave me Creep vibes with the back and forth between “haha this is pretty weird” and “oh no there is something sinister happening”

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    I’m a little surprised by how little I see people talking about this movie’s misogynistic undertones. From the obsession with fat women’s bodies, to the entire plot being basically a woman getting sent violent rape fantasies as punishment for getting an abortion many years ago, I found this movie almost impossible to stomach. I think it’s rare to see a movie with lots of violence toward women that doesn’t lean exploitative, but Nocturnal Animals goes full sharp turn.

    One star because Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal

    This is an art film without the artistry, which is to say an ugly and pointless film
