COMMUNITY REVIEWS

OK submitted by leenajong on July 15, 2015, 7:40am This is an okay movie. Pretty long, so there were times where it became boring.

Dark, scary and distressing submitted by JulieCraig on July 5, 2016, 7:05pm Dark movie about a wanna-be news photographer and his quest to make money and be successful. His partner adds dimension to the story. It is little scary and distressing.

Nightcrawler submitted by dree411 on July 13, 2017, 12:18am Good movie about doing what it takes to be the first one to report the story

Captivating, and intense submitted by nemiller on August 14, 2019, 7:28am Jake Gyllenhaal has a real talent for playing very intense characters in a believable way, and his interpretation of Louis Bloom is no exception.

My friend made the mistake of watching this movie when she was home alone for the weekend. I wouldn't recommend that, if you plan on sleeping easy, but I *would* recommend the film in general.
