23/03/26 Here Comes The Mother Fucking Bride! 4/5
Critic's hate it, the weirdos of Tumblr love it and personally, I never trust the opinions of old white men, especially after what they did to Lisa Frankenstein (2024). Maggie Gyllenhaal's 'The Bride!'(2026) is a fever dream of a film that has everything I look for in cinema. Beautiful and bright cinematography, memorable costumes, an angry woman with her adoring husband and the icon herself, Mary Shelley. Also, as a certified Frankenstein film fan, I already loved the movie before I saw it.
The film has sadly not done aswell as I thought it would and I understand why. It's weird, it's unconventional and the plot can feel a bit confusing at times with a few of the subplots not being fleshed out as much as I would have liked or feeling kind of dropped it. However, I still thoroughly enjoyed this film. I can 100% see it becoming a cult classic in a decade, alongside Lisa Frankenstein.
If you're a fan of weird films, female rage or Lisa Frankenstein, I would highly recommend checking out this film.
