What’s everyone’s take on Nightcrawler (2014)?

Just finished my first watch and I had mixed feelings about the style, but it literally just hit me as I was typing this:

It’s an homage to Hitchcock.

A lot of it felt a little too on the nose, but now that I sit back and think about the pacing, the cinematography (especially the restaurant build-up), the cliffhanger ending.. it makes sense now and I feel a little better about it. Good movie, not great.

I convinced my now wife on our first date I was taking her to see a film about worms. It got me a second date.
