“NIGHTMARE ALLEY leads us down a path paved by American classics and emerges anew as a modern miracle. Guillermo del Toro’s funhouse of filmdom expertly refracts humanity in warped, distorted mirrors – and invites us to enjoy the ride. Bradley Cooper’s transformative turn reaffirms his place as a leading man looking for more; he and an all-star cast lure us into in an inescapable, immersive world of smoke-filled rooms, amber whiskeys and blood red lipstick that expand our worldview to remind us of the humor and the horror of life’s journey.” -The American Film Institute, AFI AWARDS 2021
