Gyllenhaal's Lou Bloom may not have visible fangs, but he'd give any movie monster an authentic run for their money. August 2, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Nightcrawler is an audacious mainstream thriller, a bombastic character study and a hell of a first movie for Gilroy, even if it's a little terrifying to think of what characters he will dream up next. July 30, 2019 | Rating: A | Full Review…

Gyllenhaal is Nightcrawler's battery; his creation, cooked from the greasy rinds of Jordan Belfort et al., saturates every frame with a queasy intensity. May 31, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The aphorisms scattered throughout the film allude to a larger truth. Sadly, the film's inability to empower these feeble social stabs with any authenticity or depth of investigation leaves events feeling flat and forgettable. April 3, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's a good performance from Gyllenhaal, and perhaps it's too good because he overshadows any of the social commentary with one of the year's most uncomfortable characters. January 25, 2019 | Full Review…

A brisk pace, a taut story, and one hell of a vividly unnerving performance from Gyllenhaal; Dan Gilroy has crafted the most original thriller of the year. Nightcrawler will haunt you for days. October 24, 2018 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review…
