NOCTURNAL ANIMALS (NETFLIX REVIEW) 2016

September 3, 2024

It took me ages, before I finally summoned up the courage to watch the movie, honestly I never expected to enjoy the movie the way I did, and I was so surprised at the outcome, its one of those movies, you will skip over and over again, but when you get a grasp of the movie, you will be glad you did, I had to go back like twice to fully understand it, but when I did, I just smiled, like I am doing now.

If you judge this drama movie from the trailer, you would absolutely not select this movie, I have had to go back to watch the last scene 3 times, to really understand what happened and I still couldn’t wrap my head around it, please if you do let me know. So, to the story, the movie starts really slowly and then transcends fast, with loads of flash back and replays at the same time, so do not miss any scene or you will end up being totally lost. So Laura was a very young and ambitious lady, she met this old friend years later and they started a relationship, they both loved each so much as he was a perfect gentleman, but her mum felt he was too laid back for and would take her back in life, her mum insisted she never married him and after years of struggling with different issues and him not being able to become a great author, she left and went on to marry a very handsome and successful man. Well, you will need to go check out this movie to find out if she found happiness even in the riches, and marrying a wealthy man and how her first crush succeeded later in life.

I am going to score Nocturnal Animals 8/10, it was nice when I finally got a grasp of the movie, please be patient with it, it’s one of those movies that start very slowly, but if you wait till the very end, you will be able to put the entire puzzle together.
