Gyllenhaal shows us the Darkside of Journalism

Rating: 9/10 (22 September 2019)

The strength of this film lies in the cinematographic techniques and strong acting skills of a Gyllenhaal who is able to give life to each of his close-up expressions.
Gyllenhaal went on a strict diet to lose weight to 10 KG to portray the character of Lou Bloom who has a thin, cold-tempered and psychopathic stature.
Nightcrawler seems to want to show the dark side of the television industry which in this film is emphasized in news broadcast journalism. A satire to show how valuable a rating on the television show.
The plot that runs linear makes Nightcrawler storyline not difficult to follow. The drama side is highlighted through the many dialogue scenes that are reinforced by Gyllenhaal's expression skills.
