[Review] Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Nightmare Alley’ Is a Bleak, Winding Road to Ruin
The opening scene in Guillermo del Toro’s latest gives a grim introduction to lead Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper) as he drags a wrapped body into the floorboards of a house, then sets the place ablaze.

It centers around an unlikable protagonist haunted by his actions. Much of it is […]
