Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal, two of the loveliest things to adorn a movie screen, play one lethal couple in "Nocturnal Animals." With just a hint of "Fatal Attraction" thrown in, this morphs almost into a "Last House On The Left," that made the milk in my stomach curdle into cottage cheese.
Amy is lovely and pure looking, but her Amy appearance conceals a dark side, one where, while young, she did Jake wrong, and now, in her present life regrets it, as it was for all the wrong, and, yes, predictable reasons--money and social prestige.
Jake, obviously not having gotten over what Amy did to him, has written a novel, which is his answer to that. What follows is a back and forth morphing between the reality of the fictional novel--that's the "Last House On The Left" part--and the present day actual reality of the situation Amy is in, how she faces it, and ultimately deals with it.
This is a nasty film, but darlings, if you love nastiness, this is the one for you. No one is quite as good as Amy Adams when nasty; that sweet face can fool anyone! Amy uses all her assets here. And Jake is looking pretty as ever, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The pleasures of this thriller outweigh the distasteful plot aspects, so don't be afraid to visit this one.
You will get great fashion tips from Amy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
