Is The Bride! a Monster Movie or Just a Mess?

from Stories in Motion · host D & J

We break down The Bride!, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s wild reimagining of the Bride of Frankenstein myth. With Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale at the center, the film swings for punk-rock feminist rage and Joker-style chaos but may collapse under its own ideas.
