It is a horrifying situation which is to lead to a confrontation with a classic, laconic, Stetson-wearing Texas lawman, terrifically played by Michael Shannon. The same obese women are on display in the art gallery. The film has 74 critics rating and 73 audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, based on reviews, ratings, and ratings. Because this is no feathery literary confection: it is a brutal west Texas crime thriller about a married man – Susan imagines Tony, that is, Jake Gyllenhaal in the role, who takes his wife Laura (Isla Fisher) and his daughter Helen (Ellie Bamber) on a road trip on vacation across the remote desert, where they are terrorised by a wild gang of good ol’ boys led by the brutish Ray (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). A meta-thriller by Tom Ford about a woman who reads a manuscript by her first husband and confronts her past and dark truths. The clash between supercool LA and this couldn’t be more jarring. Reading her ex-husbands violent novel manuscript destabilizes gallery owner Susans life, upending her present while digging up their past. While Walker is out of town for the weekend, Susan begins to read and Ford dramatises the novel in front of us. There is also another terrible issue in their pasts. Il film è sceso di -2 posizioni nella classifica rispetto a ieri. Then she is astonished to receive, out of the blue, the manuscript of an unpublished novel from her first husband, Tony (Jake Gyllenhaal), a sweet, sensitive boy and wannabe writer from her Texas hometown whose heart she broke twice over: by leaving him for Walker, and by declaring he didn’t have the right stuff to be an author – that he was insecure and weak. Animali notturni è oggi al numero 252 nella classifica quotidiana degli streaming di JustWatch. Susan is successful, but her personal wealth derives chiefly from the business activities of her smoothie husband, Walker (Armie Hammer), with whom she is deeply unhappy. I concede there is an interesting visual echo in a later bar scene. That is misjudged, I think – a quasi-Lynchian freakout which doesn’t quite gel with the mood which is being set up. The scene is Los Angeles where Susan (Amy Adams) is a successful gallery owner who appears to specialise in shocking and provocative conceptual pieces – and if I have a quarrel with the movie (a quarrel I’m setting aside because of how much pleasure the film gave me) it is that this world is a bit too parodically and grotesquely represented, especially in the bizarre sequence over the opening credits.
