Like an alternate version of Network in which Faye Dunaway cannibalizes the conscientious William Holden character, Nightcrawler cleverly dispenses with any debate about the tyranny of ratings and the erosion of privacy. January 4, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

A gritty urban comedy noir, a scathing, Network-worthy disembowelment of television newsgatherers that will leave you craving a shower. January 4, 2015 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

It seems like a lot of satirical hue and cry about a social problem I'm not sure the nation is currently plagued by. Are local TV news stations really conducting daily bidding wars over the goriest footage random freelancers can bring them? January 4, 2015 | Full Review…

Crashes and crime scenes are his bread and butter. He is driven. He is innovative. He is happy. He is also a monster - a fiend who preys on people at their weakest and worst moments. November 5, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Now 33 years old, Gyllenhaal is the same age that De Niro was in Taxi Driver and, like him, he is learning to channel an eerie, inner charisma, offering it up in glimpses and glimmers rather than all at once. October 31, 2014 | Full Review…

It's an excitingly well written, dark hearted treatise with a vitriolic little statement all its own, a glorious new love letter to the seedy underside of Los Angeles, a city that bleeds during sleep. September 6, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

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…
