'The Bride!' Review: Jessie Buckley Breathes Life into a Monstrous Mess

Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale play a pair of unnaturally born killers in The Bride!, a bold and busy feminist corrective to 1935’s The Bride of Frankenstein, in which the title character only appears for about five minutes and speaks no dialogue. Gyllenhaal’s version of the bride, on the other hand, has a lot to say about society’s narrow expectations for women and its rejection of female autonomy. In fact, Gyllenhaal, who also wrote the script, attacks the issue from so many angles that the film often teeters on the brink of becoming a hot mess.
