There's a vibe here, but it's weirdly lifeless. Too much prestige, not enough noir, I think.
Sean GilmanDec 1, 2021I remain almost completely allergic to the very pretty and profoundly boring work of Guillermo del Toro.
matt lynchDec 2, 2021The fact that men are the real monsters in Guillermo del Toro movies has by now become so vividly self-evident that pointing it out offers all the same insight of observing that Quentin Tarantino loves feet, or that the old guy who keeps popping up in the MCU had something…

Scott Fausel likedNightmare AlleyDidn't expect to like this but watched in advance of Oscars. Pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed it. Cooper is excellent. 30 mins too long.
Kevin likedNightmare AlleyAlmost gave this a thumbs down, but I don’t want to upset @donny

Best movie of 2021. Bradley Cooper deserves the Oscar.
Saket lovedNightmare AlleyCinematic masterpiece 🫶🏻🤩
Ceaser likedNightmare AlleyVery enjoyable all though the film doesn’t fully pick up until the second half. In the beginning I wasn’t sure Bradley was going to talk at all. I think they made it perfectly especially in the last hour. It really makes you feel like you waited for something amazing. You did.
- Garrett likedNightmare Alley
A bit long but I watched this on a plane with nowhere to go. Bradley Cooper was awesome and the twists + ending made it worth it. @donny nice rec

Great cast and casting. Sets and production design were fantastic. It was in color, of course, but it was SO dark I had to wonder if it wouldn't have been better shot in B&W so the cinematographer could have played more with light, shadows and contrast. The screenplay…
ASAlec SajdakSucked. Rather watch Biden ramble for 2.5 hours.
JFJanet FaulknerGreat period piece. Great cast.
- ODOctavio de la Torre
Absolutely loved it. The low ratings are from mouth breathers who didn't get enough explosions or CG
GRGobany RodriguezSO MANY GREAT ACTORS IN THIS FILM. A ROMANTIC FILM AT FIRST, GRIPPING AND SUSPENSEFUL FROM MIDDLE THROUGH THE END. A STORY THAT TELLS YOU LIFE COMES FULL CIRCLE WHEN YOU LET GREED AND POWER GET TO YOU.
RMRobert MIt was good. However, the original is far better

Just as ugly and beautiful as any classic noir, del Toro’s dark, dazzling three-ring Hollywood circus proves the old-fashioned event film still has a lot of life left.

With a semi-playful nod to the 1945 film Detour and more than a few rain-drenched streets, Nightmare Alley pays tribute to noir. But it’s also its own dark snow globe, luminous and finely faceted, and one of del Toro’s most fluent features.

This sordid excavation into the hollowness of a human soul is a strange fit for a director who’s spent his career searching for magic in the darkest margins of our world, but del Toro’s natural empathy for even the most damnable creatures he finds there sparks new life into “Nightmare Alley” as it narrows towards its inevitable dead end.
