‘The Bride!’ review: Jessie Buckley’s latest is one of the worst movies I’ve seen in this job
NY Post
Leave her at the altar!
She is “The Bride!,” one of the absolute worst movies I have had the displeasure of watching in this job.
It’s a struck-by-lightning shocker to see a big Hollywood studio’s riff on a story as old and overexplored as “Frankenstein” — starring an Oscar winner and two nominees, no less — be so slathered in ineptitude.
Yet, only seconds in, I regretted leaving my trusty torch and pitchfork at home.
“Knock, knock,” goes the first line in writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s confounding script, which was perhaps scribbled down at 4 a.m. in a dream journal. It’s spoken by Jessie Buckley, who’s up for Best Actress in 11 days.
“Who’s there?” replies the same deranged woman, apparently talking to herself.
