The Bride!

What an invigorating film!!! Jessie Buckley is in a category of her own. I can’t stop thinking about her performance. This twisted romance is enthralling from the very beginning. You don’t fully understand her yet, but the tension keeps climbing higher and higher, you don’t even want to blink. And that is only the start of it.

The Bride’s emotional journey feels incredibly tangible. She doesn’t remember her former life, and being resurrected wasn’t what made her a monster. She came back as something new, yet carried the weight of her past with her. Even her joy seemed to ache with immense pain.

My only wish was that the film had gone deeper into what drove her rage, rather than delivering it through quick dialogue and a montage from someone else’s perspective. Nonetheless, the entire film has this relentless, electric energy. You come out the other side feeling like you just survived something.

Checked the time once because it started to drag. Checked it again 20 minutes later and a minute had passed.

Holy hand grenade of Antioch, that was a long, pretentious two hours
