A rather dark character drama. Not for everyone

Rating: 10/10 (1 May 2019)

Nightcrawler is a difficult film to recommend to the general audience, as it follows one of the most despicable protagonists ever put on screen. This is exactly what the filmmakers intended, and they achieved their goal without question. What results is one of the interesting
character dramas in recent history.
Gyllenhaal's performance is one of his best, and he leaves the viewer's eyes glued to the screen as they are simultaneously left waiting to see if his character will succeed, while hoping he doesn't.
With its sinister tone and spectacular performances, it's a nice contrast to the CGI filled events taking over the screens these days. It's not for everyone, but it's one of recommend to viewers who enjoy dark dramas with complex characters.
