My review of Nocturnal Animals, for The Tulsa Voice. The second film directed by fashion designer Tom Ford, his style is “downright immaculate, but at times his instincts veer toward the ridiculous.”

Nocturnal Animals is “a serious piece of filmmaking” but also more “psychologically sadistic” than any serious film of recent memory. Not for the faint of heart or stomach.
