"Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals is cinema at its most vibrant. The film may be beautiful — and beautifully ugly — to gaze at, but the second-time director yields the control and understanding of the medium required for the emotional spine of the film. It is shocking that someone making their second film has such a grasp of genre, and a distinct comprehension of film form to allows these contracting narratives to inhabit one screen. Nocturnal Animals is an always thrilling, sporadically devastating piece of cinema, which currently holds my stamp of approval as the best of the fest."

It is most definitely not for children and it may be too much for some adults. Even if Sausage Party doesn’t succeed as a laugh riot, it should be cherished since there is certainly nothing else like it."
