18 Hilarious Amazon Reviews Of 2017's Oscar Movies
9. Nocturnal Animals
Nominated For: Best Supporting Actor
Ignoring another "gay agenda" accusation (at this stage, it's just a scatter-gun approach that doesn't so much as take in the movies that the idiots attack), Nocturnal Animals is one of the more divisive films on this year's slate of Oscar movies. Amazon reviewers just didn't get it, or they loved it.
A few hated it to the point that you have to think Tom Ford has personally wronged them in some way...
"What's the difference between profound modern art and a worthless black painted canvas? Tom Ford would like you to think a whole lot, but this film ends up being as devoid of substance and pretentious as just that. Not a single moment in the film conveys any feeling, the dialog is painfully trite and stilted, and unlike films with similar aesthetics, there is next to no complexity in its plot. You hope in vein that the filmmaker is simply setting up this facade of banality for some big payoff at the end where the worlds of the parodied yokels and hyper art elite collide to give way to some exposed reality. Instead, the film never gets any deeper than the vanity of its lead character. Was this purposeful or even evidence of the director's consciousness of his own work's vanity? This would be interesting if it weren't so self congratulatory. This movie is a black painted canvas hung in a theater, but only the "artist" is applauding."
