NIGHTMARE ALLEY is a slow-burn, atmospheric noir with impeccably awe-inspiring craftsmanship from Guillermo del Toro. The first half’s pacing drags but once Cate Blanchett enters the second half the heat cranks up considerably. Bradley Cooper’s final moments are utterly haunting. pic.twitter.com/DHanroa6uI
