The Bride!
I almost dropped this at first because the first scene might be one of the worst things I have ever seen. Then, Christian Bale came on and I started to enjoy the movie a whole lot more. Jessie Buckley was okay but her freak out moments were cringe and it was confusing what her whole role was going for.
There were some moments in this that I really loved, but there were sprinkles of shit throughout. In particular, I absolutely ABHORED the dining room scene with Jake Gyllenhaal. It was just so awful, I don't even know how to describe it and I just don't have the energy for it. I also hated the ending and felt that this chickened out from something that would have been really good. The Tongue mobster guy was random and overused but he had a good scene I guess.
This is not the worst thing ever but I can see why people would hate or love this. It's not my thing but a revisit might make me like it a little more. Also, at least this is nowhere near as bad as Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) but then I guess not much else is...

This film is a frustrating example of style overwhelming substance. I genuinely enjoyed the performances by Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale, both of whom fully commit to the m...

Just a quick note on my review since I rated it a 45/100, which is my "close but no" tier, when I don't outright hate a movie but don't recommend it, and most of my review was p...

You know, I hate when contemporary American movies they're commenting on their own movie. There is something calculated and cynical about commenting on it, which may comment on ...
