Nightcrawler - Kritiken

...well worth seeing just for Gyllenhaal’s spectacularly creepy performance.

This is a classic film, not just because every scene and line is casually beautiful and devoid of extraneous touches, but because its tone is mercilessly exact.

...unfurls into a ghoulish and wickedly funny satire on journalism, the job market and self-help culture.

Sharp, dark, satirical and bone-rattlingly thrilling, with a career-peak turn from Jake Gyllenhaal.

A bug-eyed Jake Gyllenhaal goes full Rupert Pupkin in this eminently creepy satire on the hysteria of rolling TV news.

...a thoroughly gripping portrait of an utterly modern sociopath...

Dan Gilroys debut er sikkert skruet sammen og morbid morsom, når Louis’ vanvid i stedet for at blive stoppet i stedet tilskyndes af mediefolkene omkring ham. Han vokser og man fornemmer monstret i ham, der langsomt vågner til dåd.

...är oerhört snyggt skriven. Vissa dialoger etsar sig fast...

’Nightcrawler’ er et karakterstudie forklædt som urban thriller fra mareridtssiden af drømmebyen Los Angeles.
