The Bride (2026) directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal. Jessie Buckley is spectacular as a woman possessed by the ghost of Mary Shelley. This film nods to every iteration of Frankenstein that precedes it, in book and film forms. It takes place in 1936 Chicago, and there are additional nods to gangster films and Bonnie and Clyde. The movie is perfection. It is so well crafted. "I would prefer not to" from Melville's Bartleby the Scrivener is at the heart of a feminist protest (and update).
Viewed at Tacoma's Grand Cinema.

It was also the first time I took advantage of using their headphones so I didn't miss any of the dialogue or soundtrack. Diminished hearing is no fun at the movies, but the Grand makes accessibility easy!
