Todd F This was amazing seeing the black and white version of the film. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Evan M moody film noir by Del Toro Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/23/22 Full Review Sean one of the most incredible films I've ever seen and it looks even more stunning in black and white. This film noir centers around a drifter who joins a carnival in the late 1930s and learns the tricks of mentalism. His ambitions takes him to the big city where he meets a mysterious and beautiful psychiatrist who has a scheme to swindle some wealthy bigwigs. Things get dark as his web of lies comes crumbling down. Nightmare Alley has incredible performances across the board particularly by Blanchett, Cooper, and Jenkins, witty dialogue, stunning cinematography, and eye popping sets. I don't want to spoil anything but this is a compelling adult film that takes place in the past but also says a lot about the times we live in. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/22 Full Review Brandon Richardson Well crafted and well-performed, Nightmare Alley is a solid psychological thriller. The overlong runtime does make the plot seem more complex that it is, but beyond that, the cinematography is fantastic, and the production design is visually astounding. Cooper and Collette were astonishing, and Cate Blanchett stole the show. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/22 Full Review Michael Great mystery and thriller. 10/10 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/22 Full Review justin r Amazing set direction and story.
