"Nocturnal Animals" is a psychological thriller directed by Tom Ford. The film alternates between two storylines—the real-life narrative of Susan Morrow, a successful art gallery owner, and the fictional story within a manuscript sent to her by her ex-husband, Edward Sheffield.
In the real-life narrative, Susan Morrow, played by Amy Adams, leads a seemingly glamorous life in Los Angeles with her current husband Hutton Morrow, portrayed by Armie Hammer. However, she is deeply unsatisfied with her life, feeling trapped in a loveless marriage and haunted by regrets from her past, namely her tumultuous relationship with Edward, played by Jake Gyllenhaal.
One day, Susan receives a package containing the manuscript of Edward's novel, titled "Nocturnal Animals," and she becomes engrossed in reading it. The story within the manuscript focuses on Tony Hastings, played by Jake Gyllenhaal in a dual role, who is a fictional character but clearly bears a resemblance to Edward.
In the manuscript's storyline, Tony embarks on a road trip with his wife Laura, played by Isla Fisher, and their teenage daughter India, portrayed by Ellie Bamber. During their journey through a desolate part of West Texas, they encounter a group of menacing individuals led by Ray Marcus, depicted by Aaron Taylor-Johnson. The encounter quickly escalates into a horrifying and violent event, leaving Tony devastated and seeking justice.
As Susan delves deeper into the manuscript, she becomes increasingly absorbed in the intense and disturbing events of Edward's fiction. The narrative blurs the lines between reality and fiction, as Susan begins to draw parallels between the characters in the manuscript and her own life. Simultaneously, the film reveals glimpses of Susan and Edward's past relationship, highlighting the pain, betrayal, and regret that permeates their history.
"Nocturnal Animals" explores themes of love, regret, revenge, and the power of art to confront personal demons. The film keeps viewers on edge as it oscillates between Susan's present reality, her complicated emotions towards Edward, and the gripping fictional story within the manuscript.
Ultimately, "Nocturnal Animals" leaves the audience questioning the boundaries between truth and fiction, and the impact our choices have on the lives of others.
