The Bride! - Reviews

...boasts a mesmerising Jessie Buckley performance, but there's a little too much going on...

Played fearlessly by Jessie Buckley, this Bride is very much alive.

While the film lacks cohesion, the rollercoaster ride is exhilarating.

Without Buckley, this would have been lacking; with her, it’s a very bizarre and enjoyable spectacle of married bliss.

If Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein was too by-the-book for your tastes, you couldn’t get a more alternative take than this fabulously punk update.

This is a shotgun blast of a movie with no fealty to the conventions of modern gothic horror.

...playful and imaginative yet somewhat baffling experiment.

...a fantastical creative explosion you can’t look away from.

Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jessie Buckley mean to make you uncomfortable in their confrontational monster movie.

...Maggie Gyllenhaal's extremely messy, extremely inventive film that dares you to try to neatly fit it into one genre.

A masterpiece on every level.

...an arty, angry cousin to Guillermo Del Toro’s faithful 2025 take on the gothic tale.

...extra allt, på alla fronter.

”Bonnie och Clyde” möter ”Beetlejuice” i ett förlösande primalvrål av stroboskop, kyssar och krossad kristall.
