This is Maggie Gyllenhaal’s gonzo 1930s take on The Bride of Frankenstein. Maggie wrote and directed.
The quality of this telesynch copy is mediocre, so I can’t tell whether her bra was a see-thru. She did have a sex scene with Christian Bale where they were theoretically nipple-to-nipple (see below), for what it’s worth. I think it is really Jessie. Both Bale and Buckley went so far over-the-top in this film that they came full circle, finishing back below the top again.
The critic’s scores finish somewhere in the middle, making it appear to be a film that people are indifferent to.
Metacritic: 55
Tomato Meter: 57%
Popcorn Meter: 72%
IMDb: 5.9
Those are the kinds of scores you might expect from a safe, middling rom-com. That apparent mediocrity is misleading. It is not safe, and people were not indifferent. Many critics loved it, many hated it. It’s that kind of movie. It’s just way out there, a work of wild imagination, and not a little unhinged.
I do wonder if there was more nudity in the original cut. Although based on the reports, it might not be very pleasant.
This version may not be the one that comes out officially. I think – wait and see,
