From writer/director Tom Ford (A SINGLE MAN) comes a haunting romantic thriller that explores the thin lines between love and cruelty, and revenge and redemption. Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal star as a divorced couple discovering dark truths about each other and themselves in NOCTURNAL ANIMALS, of which you can see the first trailer for below!
The concept of this story reminds me of a kind of reversal of The FOUNTAIN. Where as that film featured a story written out of great love for his spouse, this film features a story written out of a kind of grudge. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there’s a lot more at play than the, “We broke up and I don’t appreciate that”, angle but that’s how the trailer comes off to me. At the very least, I’m sure there’s some solid acting on display! Our own Chris Brumbray said as much in his TIFF review, of which you can read HERE!
NOCTURNAL ANIMALS hits theaters on December 9, 2016.
