Maggie Gyllenhaal\u2019s The Bride<\/a> is set to hit theaters next week, but the first reactions to the gothic romance have begun trickling on social media following the film\u2019s world premiere in London.<\/p>\n

The film stars Jessie Buckley<\/a> as The Bride and Christian Bale as Frankenstein\u2019s Monster.\u00a0\u201cA lonely Frankenstein travels to 1930s Chicago to seek the aid of a Dr. Euphronius in creating a companion for himself,\u201d reads the official synopsis. \u201cThe two reinvigorate a murdered young woman and the Bride is born. She is beyond what either of them intended, igniting a combustible romance, the attention of the police and a wild and radical social movement.\u201c<\/p>\n

According to Erik Davis<\/a>, The Bride is a big swing, but one that definitely connects. \u201cMaggie Gyllenhaal\u2019s #TheBrideMovie swings BIG \u2014 ferocious, funny, chaotic, romantic and fueled by another knockout Jessie Buckley performance,\u201d he wrote. \u201cBuckley and Bale are a dream pairing because they\u2019re both actors who fully commit and disappear into their roles. They bring a raw intensity and unpredictability that makes this inventive take on the Bride\/Frankenstein story work. THE BRIDE! feels like a love letter to classic moviegoing wrapped inside a bold, modern monster movie. Honestly, we need more films like this.\u201c<\/p>\n

Having watched The Bride, we can share that it’s a movie clearly made by someone who loves movies. The camera adores Jessie Buckley, who shines, and her character sweeps you off your feet into a lush, gothic romance that has one foot in reality and one in the world of the arcane.\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/M4F13fyTgd<\/a><\/p>\n

Most Frankenstein movies are about the hubris of man, but #TheBrideMovie<\/a> takes it a step further by asking, “What do we do with the fuckmess they’ve left behind?” This is one of the most daring and original films of 2026 and one of the best monster reimaginings of all time. pic.twitter.com\/9NYnduCAFU<\/a><\/p>\n

BJ Colangelo<\/a> was definitely a fan. \u201cMaggie Gyllenhaal and Jessie Buckley built #TheBrideMovie in a lab to give me the movie of my dreams. A shrieking, brazen journey of an ungovernable woman and a man who wants her to burn it all down if it means feeling her warmth. I loved every second of it,\u201d she said. \u201cMost Frankenstein movies are about the hubris of man, but #TheBrideMovie takes it a step further by asking, \u2018What do we do with the fuckmess they\u2019ve left behind?\u2019 This is one of the most daring and original films of 2026 and one of the best monster reimaginings of all time.\u201c<\/p>\n

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s #TheBride<\/a> is wild, audacious, & dgaf if you like it. Buckley & Bale thrill in a movie that feels like what JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX desperately wished it was. Gyllenhaal’s script has a lot of threads it doesn’t weave in perfectly. unlike anything out there. pic.twitter.com\/EtQCaUe1NJ<\/a><\/p>\n

These types of first reactions are typically always positive, but we won\u2019t have long to wait to find out for ourselves as The Bride is set to hit theaters on March 6.<\/p>\n
