The Bride! review – Jessie Buckley is electrifying as frizzy-haired, black-tongued monster’s wife
- Buckley delivers an electrifying performance as Ida, the bride in Maggie Gyllenhaal's reimagined tale.
- The film blends dark comedy with horror influences from Rocky Horror and Young Frankenstein.
- Bale’s monster appears bruised and tender, contrasting with Buckley’s wild performance.
- The narrative relocates Mary Shelley as an angry ghost driving the plot.
- The film is set across the Roaring Twenties and Thirties with gangster energy.
- Buckley’s Mary Shelley voice is highlighted but not fully sustained throughout.
- The review notes missed opportunities, such as a wedding ceremony.
- The Guardian frames the film as a stylish, bizarre spectacle worth watching.
- Projection of the film falls under a 'barnstorming' performance tag for Buckley.
