Nocturnal Animals (2016)

An intriguing movie, suspense, and well told

[9/10 · 1 July 2017]

I don't like drama or romance movie. This movie is not about them anyway. I like movie that challenge me intellectually or disturb me emotionally. This movie does those two things, heavily in second thing.

The plot is the seduction, flashbacks between the content of the book, the reality now, and the past is structured in such a way to engage the viewers deeply in Susan's world without the need to explain anything. All of the stories are out there, you just need t construct them in your mind. The acting is good and enjoyable. Superb even.

The background, decoration, settings and music are well integrated one another. Many symbols. I like it.

At the end of this movie I felt something. I felt my emotions and hearts were upside down.

If you need something that can make your heart and mind engaged in an intrigue way, I concur you want to watch this movie

Talvar (2015)

Very good suspense detective crime movie

[8/10 · 1 July 2017]

Okay, it was difficult for me to watch Indian movie again. Last I watched Indian movie was like 8 years ago, 3 Idiots. I always have this prejudices toward Indian movies. Lately, I've been craving for suspense or thriller genre movies. I watched a lot in the last 2 years. Then my friend suggested me to watch Talvar, an Indian movie. I literally watched this movie because my friend swear on it. And damn, he was right.

Talvar is a very good investigation movie. The pace is medium enough, and we were showed how Indian police work and how CDI, the elites, work. The story is intriguing, the acting is superb, and the depiction of real life is so detail and moving.

I like this movie, because I felt like I'm in the middle of the investigation. I am surprised that the case is from real life. Wow.

Now, I have a plan to watch some others Indian movies such as Kahaani, A Wednesday, and Byomkesh. I think I will fall hard for Indian movies again.
