I saw it Saturday and it was such a fun ride! Jessie Buckley was nothing short of electric, Christian Bale was outstanding, and Maggie Gyllenhal’s vision was unflinching and compelling as HELL. The naysayers can go fuck themselves… respectfully. 😂

In the court of public opinion, Variety is the grand jester. No longer a publication of tastemakers, but IP hounds and profit-hunters. They don't work for the cinema lovers but the investment bankers and big-money suits. Keep spreading the word on the films making waves on their merit, not their ability to run up the box-office till or entice the monotonous algorithms. I can't wait to see this film, I'm really looking forward to it.

Thank you for being one of the few talking sense about this movie.

Great take on The Bride! Unfortunately, I absolutely hated it, but the preformances were really stand-out. I kept thinking it would be a great stage play, but as a movie I just couldn't digest it. Thanks for a different perspective!

Glad to see a positive review! I haven’t seen it yet and have been on the fence about how I’d feel about it with the trailers, but still very invested in giving it a go when I can

I enjoyed it and loved the score as well.

I had fun with it. But it is such a messy movie too and was disappointed too at certain aspects, but i still had fun.

It is lots of fun! The Bride isn’t perfect, but the characters made it worthwhile for me. I’d love to see them in another movie. Thanks for reading.
