Nocturnal Animals
Movies Like Sicario
Another of our movies like Sicario, Nocturnal Animals (2016) tells the story of an idiosyncratic gallery owner (Amy Adams) who is reading the novel of her ex-husband (Jake Gyllenhaal).
The film effectively takes place across three timelines: the gallery owner’s present-day reality, the novel’s story, and the gallery owner’s memories of her past marriage to her ex-husband.
Most of the film’s drive and drama takes place during the novel’s story, a dark, daring, and absorbing narrative that, thanks to its brilliant cast and direction, will make you instantly forget about the world beyond your screen.
The novel tells the story of an everyday family taking a road trip through West Texas and eventually encounters a local group of drunken troublemakers.
For the sake of not spoiling anything, we won’t go too deep into details, but what we can tell you is that what follows is a relentless roller-coaster of nail-biting moments that won’t offer you any relief for even a single moment.
Nocturnal Animals features some truly disturbing and shocking scenes, so it should be noted that this film is certainly not for the faint of heart.
Few movies can match the eerily captivating atmosphere of Nocturnal Animals.
