Susan is a successful but unhappy woman who begins to analyze her past actions after she starts reading a dramatic novel written by her ex-husband.
A drama film, analytical almost without saying anything. All silences are well placed and timed and extremely meaningful. The above-mentioned novel is a pretext to have a movie within a movie. This helps to highlight the mental state of all those involved through a very interesting parallel of two very different psychological traumas but it is also a marketing gimmick, because it makes possible the transition from an artsy feature film that has something to say to a film with commercial attraction without having to cancel any of the meaningful traits of the picture. Overwhelmingly dark but intelligent and very stylized, Nocturnal Animals is a flawless film.
