You are listening to the next Best Picture podcast, and this is our review of Nocturnal Animals.

Do you ever feel like your life has turned into something you never intended?

I'm worried about you.

Were you sleeping?

You scared me the last time we talked.

You know me. I never sleep.

My ex-husband used to call me a nocturnal animal.

I didn't know you had an ex-husband.

I've been thinking about him a lot lately.

And then recently he sent me this book that he's written.

It's violent and it's sad.

And he dedicated it to me.

Did you love him?

I did something horrible to him.

All right, everybody.

That was the trailer for Nocturnal Animals.

And the story is a successful Los Angeles art gallery owner's idyllic life is marred by the constant traveling of her handsome second husband.

While he is away, she is shaken by the arrival of a manuscript written by her first husband, who she has not seen in years.

The manuscript tells the story of a teacher who finds a trip with his family turning into a nightmare.

As Susan reads the book, it forces her to examine her past and confront some dark truths.

The story is starring.
