Our suggestions
A successful Los Angeles art-gallery owner's idyllic life is marred by the constant traveling of her handsome second husband. While he is away, she is shaken by the arrival of a manuscript written by her first husband, who she has not seen in years. The manuscript tells the story of a teacher who finds a trip with his family turning into a nightmare. As Susan reads the book, it forces her to examine her past and confront some dark truths.
"A provocative and very well directed movie by Tom Ford. The story is divided into three smaller plots, with one of them, the fictional book 'Nocturnal Animals' serving as a costure for the "real" events of this story. In the performances, Michael Shannon delivers a very solid and interesting job, deserving the Oscar nomination for Supporting Actor, while Aaron Taylor-Johnson is in one of his best career performances, also deserving the Golden Globe award for Best Supporting Actor. Shame, really, for Jake Gyllenhaal: he was forgotten in the Hollywood awards season, even after another impeccable performance."
