Full review: https://fandomwire.com/the-bride-review/ Rating: A- "The Bride! establishes itself as one of the year's most unique experiences, where Maggie Gyllenhaal's bold vision and a vibrant punk-rock aesthetic are anchored by the visceral performances of Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale. Encompassed in Hildur Guðnadóttir's somber score, the movie transforms gothic horror into a profound reflection on loneliness and the search for identity. It's a triumph of audacit…

The Imax sound in the theater I was in, …
I had such high hopes and expectations for Maggie Gyllenhaal's directorial debut. Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale are brilliant, but alas, they couldn't even save 'The Bride'. I found myself wishing that Buckley's 'Ida' would pick a personality and stick with it. I felt that way more so for the continuity and interest in the story than anything else. Bales interpretation of 'The Monster' was as nuanced as I had hoped it would be, his need for human interaction w…
