The Bride! (2026)

Jessie Buckley's revived woman has very good reason to resent being assigned a purpose before anyone has asked what she wants. The pleasure is watching that imposed role fail to contain her personality. Maggie Gyllenhaal's 2026 monster romance makes autonomy an exciting reason to take the creature's side, even when the outlaw story grows abrasive and unruly. Rooting for her right to choose is different from approving every act of violence around the pair.
