**RUN! Save yourselves!**The cinematography makes this movie lovely to watch while being miserable to experience. Filled with amazing actors trying to make sense of a film riddled with plot holes and disappointment. I was hoping for a good Del Toro horror movie and sadly was met with a poorly executed mystery romp… spent the whole movie hoping the ending would somehow save it… and sadly, it did not.
This is great! I loved it!‘Nightmare Alley’ is a superb watch! I particularly enjoyed the beginning and end, which are truly excellent; the middle part isn’t as strong, but is still top notch in its own right. I love the dark atmosphere it sets from the get-go, the sound design is outstanding – some bits are so striking and I love it! It has a quality, engrossing story to boot.
Bradley Cooper leads the cast with quality, though he isn’t even the sole standout of the film. He is joined by a whole host of terrific performers: Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe, Richard Jenkins, David Strathairn … I could go on, simply phenomenal casting! I wanted more of them all, and yet felt I got the perfect amount too.
The 150 minute run time went by incredibly quickly for me; if I hadn’t known it was on for that long, I would never have guessed its length to be anywhere near that. It’s a slow burn, but a slow burn done tremendously. Guillermo del Toro – this is the first film of his I’ve seen – & Co. did a super job, I have no complaints at all. I was toying for ages between a 9 or a 10 rating, it just about creeps its way into the latter.
Just brilliant. Go watch!
Captures the feel of film noir but not the zip
I liked Nightmare Alley at first. It’s visually gorgeous and pulls you in with its ambience and bits of mystery. But at a certain point, where what I’d call the “second act” begins, I looked to see how much was left of the movie, thinking it was about the time in a noir when things really get going like a runaway freight train, and realized it was only half over!I felt pretty restless at that point, in spite of Cate Blanchett’s pitch-perfect performance. It wasn’t so much that less time should have been used up in the first act as that every single thing should have been shorter. This should have had the brisk quality of classic noir, instead of the slow boil noir here.
The movie does finally go into runaway freight train mode almost two hours in, and that last part is intense and gripping and everything you’d want it to be, but really this whole movie should have been 90-100 minutes and a good finale doesn’t erase the boredom I’d felt for most of the previous hour.
Del Toro’s a terrific director, the movie looks amazing, and Blanchett is phenomenal, so I won’t say skip it. I will say, lower your expectations and don’t count on something worthy of the best picture Oscar nomination this got.
