A late-night plea from a guarded man who only opened up to someone who has now left, wounded, bitter and still longing.
- Drive (2011): Neon-soaked night drives and a guarded man whose tenderness comes too late.
- Euphoria (2019): Glossy, aching portrait of desire, hurt and self-destruction with a nocturnal pulse.
- Uncut Gems (2019): Frantic, hollow glamour, bad choices and a man undone by his own appetites; Abel himself appears in it.
- Blue Valentine (2010): A love slowly curdling into resentment and regret.
- Moonlight (2016): Guarded vulnerability and longing finally spilling out in a quiet, intimate way.
- Nocturnal Animals (2016): Slick, cold surfaces over bitter heartbreak and regret for a lost love.
- The Idol (2023): Co-created by The Weeknd, it is a dark, hazy story of fame, obsession and toxic intimacy.
- Atlanta (2016): Dreamy, melancholic late-night mood, with isolation and fragile connection beneath the fame.
