The LFF synopsis
Nicole Kidman is astonishing, and almost unrecognisable, in Karyn Kusama’s (The Invitation, LFF 2015) brooding thriller DESTROYER. Kidman plays Erin, a jaded police detective haunted by her past and still reeling from the trauma of her experience years later, who is forced to confront her demons in order to close the case that almost destroyed her. The film also stars Sebastian Stan, Tatiana Maslany and Toby Kebbell.
After seeing the first still, I think Nicole is fully inhabiting the character. I mean those haunting eyes are giving me the chills. That is why she is still my fave actress!

I hope this becomes a banner film for all the right reasons. Let's hope Telluride has Destroyer and Boy Erased in the lineup as well, which I believe gets announced tomorrow

Oh wow comparing the film to several film classics such as China Town is a stark praise indeed.
I hope this boosts Karyn Kusama who deserves more credit than she's been given.

It's a stellar lineup. Let's hope she's able to make it to the festival and that both the films get a warm reception and reviews.
