The Bride! movie review: Christian Bale, Jessie Buckley film is brilliant, only in flashes | Movie-review News

The Bride! movie review: Christian Bale, Jessie Buckley film is brilliant, only in flashes | Movie-review News

4 min readMar 6, 2026 07:37 PM IST The Bride! movie review: “I’m revolting,” says Ida/Penny/The Bride/Mary Shelley in The Bride!. “Oh, no!” exclaims Frank/Frankenstein. “Relax,” says she, or means it anyway. “I am revolting as in mutiny.” Just in case you didn’t get it – and there is little chance of that. From exposition of scientific terms regarding how dead persons are brought alive again, as in Frankenstein and Ida, to exposition on how this is actually a feminist treatise, in the garb of a horror/romance, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! doesn’t believe in leaving anything unsaid. So it is that Ida (Buckley) at a crucial juncture says “Me Too” once and, then, once more. So it is that Dr Euphronius (Bening) underlines that she must keep her first name hidden to get published. So it is that Frank (Bale) revels in Ida’s refusal to be anybody’s wife. And so it is that the detective who cracks the case, Mallow (Cruz), outwits the others because nobody notices the woman officer in the room. Not that …

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s ‘The Bride!’ is a Frankenstein riff with a pulse| Entertainment News

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride!” is a big, brash swing at a new “The Bride of Frankenstein” that struggles to cohere its many parts. But I’ll say this for it: It’s alive. Movie Review: Maggie Gyllenhaal’s ‘The Bride!’ is a Frankenstein riff with a pulse Just months after Guillermo del Toro presented his lavish “Frankenstein,” Gyllenhaal, in her follow-up to her excellent 2021 directorial debut, “The Lost Daughter,” has set her sights on reimagining 1935’s “The Bride of Frankenstein.” The sequel starred Boris Karloff and, in the dual role of the Bride and Mary Shelley, Elsa Lanchester. But in “The Bride of Frankenstein,” the shock-haired Bride is only on screen for a handful of minutes at the end of the film. Gyllenhaal, who also wrote her film, has corrected the imbalance, refashioning the story from the Bride’s perspective and concocting a protagonist of unfiltered feminist fury. As played by Jessie Buckley, she is both a victim of male control and a reanimated avenging angel. Buckley is also, like Lanchester was, Shelley. In the movie’s opening moments, …

(Warner Bros) What Jake said In a statement, Jake said, “My first impression of the script was that it was truly one of a kind. A singular vision from a brilliant mind. It felt completely individual, unlike anything I’d encountered before.I had spoken with my sister about the project for a couple of years beforehand, but when I finally read the script, it was as if she had somehow gathered and distilled all the ideas she’d been contemplating and metabolising for so many years, and woven them into this rich, deep, modern …

EXCLUSIVE: Christian Bale couldn’t forget Maggie Gyllenhaal’s fiery, eccentric The Bride script, ‘Really lingered with me’

The world of Frankenstein is intriguing and challenging the tale this time is none other than Maggie Gyllenhaal, the Academy Award-nominated writer and director of The Lost Daughter.

How Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal found the emotional power of ‘Hamnet’

How Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal found the emotional power of ‘Hamnet’

TORONTO — During the emotionally wrecking final scene of “Hamnet,” Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal had an issue. How Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal found the emotional power of ‘Hamnet’ “There were moments where the camera was obstructing us,” Buckley recalls. “We were like: ‘No, we have to see each other.’” “And then the minute we did see each other, it was like ‘Oh, no,’” Mescal says, laughing. “What a glorious thing.” In “Hamnet,” Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s prizewinning 2020 novel, Mescal plays William Shakespeare and Buckley his wife, Agnes. It’s a fictional, speculative drama with basis in historical fact. One of the couple’s three children, Hamnet, died in 1596 at the age of 11. Within a handful of years, “Hamlet” would premiere at the Globe Theatre. The names, scholars have noted, were essentially interchangeable in 16th-century England. Zhao’s film, which opens Wednesday in theaters, imagines the possible connection between the death of the Shakespeares’ son and the birth of the playwright’s greatest work. It’s a portrait of a marriage, in grief and …
