Film: Nocturnal Animals (2016)

The Nocturnal Animals is a neo-noir psychological thriller film written, produced and directed by Tom Ford (who also is a model designer). The movie based in the novel "Tony and Susan" by Austin Wrigth. The neo-noir psychological thriller means dark movie with a orientation that appeal to the subjective fears of the viewer, also has a dark aesthetic that create a suspense climate. 
The film takes place in three differents moments, first, the "real world" in which Susan Morrow (interpreted by Amy Adams) receives a books written by her exhusband Edward Sheffield (interpreted by Jake Gyllenhall). So this moment is based on her reading it.
By the way, the name of this book is "nocturnal animals". 
The second moment passes within the novel, in which the protagonist of the novel, in short, seeks justice for the rape and murder of his wife and daughter, inside which he dies in an absurd manner, alluding to his inability to be in charge of his family.
Then, in the moment in the real world, but in the present, in the state of shock due to the crisis of the story, Susan seeks to meet Edward to talk about something terrible that caused him to separate, but he never arrived.
I like how two stories so different (the "real" Susan and the book), a melancholy and another violent, are combined in a single universe with their own laws on love lost. The hurt emotion of Susan takes possession of one, just as one can feel Edward's (with the reading that is made there of the book he has written).

It is a metaphor of how monogamous love can be distorted to the point of generating the most raw emotions, which managed to portray with excellent performances and games of time.
I take it as a criticism of the established way of love and above all how it can pass from happiness to situations of human cruelty.
that's all again!
