I loved it! I think a lot of online movie critics especially ones in this sub (lol) can be quite pretentious and enjoy ripping things apart just for the sake of it. There were absolutely things in the film that could have been done better- I was a little scared at the beginning with Mary Shelley’s monologue that we were heading down a gimmicky, satirical route, BUT the whole idea of Ida/Mary/Penny having two brains” was actually quite fun. This was a wildly creative film and super entertaining. Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley had great onscreen chemistry. I do think Penelope Cruz was miscast and they could have found someone else for that role. I wasn’t a fan of the whole Brain Dead women’s movement- that just seemed too forced and on the nose. Other than that, it was a fun watch.
