nocturnal animals (2016). directed by tom ford.


when you love someone you work it out, you have to be careful with it, you don’t just throw it away — you might never get it again.

regret is what you feel if you live long enough to see what it could have been, for giving up on someone or something, or for taking the easy way out. excellent acting and direction, while director tom ford is still meticulous, he is trying something new with this 2 plots in one movie mirroring one another. while the subject matter is common - tales of revenge, betrayal, and love gone awry - it is the treatment of age old questions in fresh ways that should always be celebrated, re-framing the question for contemporary audience. was she wrong to give up and not seeing the potential that her ex husband could be? do we marry someone out of love and imperfections, rather than for them to fulfil what we have in mind for them? should they live up to our expectations, and is that fair? should he held on to hurt over something that happened years ago, and where do this take us? 

age old questions, no easy answers. mostly we lose.
