Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Nightcrawler.

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Nightcrawler knows its audience.

The cinematography in Nightcrawler is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought Nightcrawler was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Nightcrawler?
Honestly, Nightcrawler would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: Nightcrawler is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the Nightcrawler performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
