I know this is going to sound weird but I am so happy to hear that this movie has that "unpleasant" quality to it. I love me some very noir too.
And I am even more excited to see Nicole slay it in this role while doing those gritty, "dirty" things on the screen. I am so heartened to hear that she's doing a dirty harry type of character and actions while being praised for her acting (it could have ventured to being cheesy or unbelievable which I'm glad to hear it didn't).
yay, can't wait to see this! and I think the industry and the award-giving bodies may be more entranced with Nicole because of back-to-back (but with such stark contrast in characters) knockout performances in this this film and Boy Erased (hopefully).

I really liked that first picture! Oh the trailer can't come soon enough! Imagine if this is well received and her performance is kinda like Theron in Monster, and that Boy Erased is also well received, kinda like Lion? If this happens it will be a dream come true and I think that we can expect a double Oscars nominations! Now that would be heaven! Yes, I'm quoting myself, because from the first tweets about Destroyer came this one: "Grant @grantman2011 DESTROYER - Nicole Kidman is equal parts bark and bite as a crooked, thorny Los Angeles detective. Fully committed to the role, she is the entire movie. I could easily see people relating it to Theron’s performance in ‘Monster’ #Telluride" Exactly what I said and I didn't see the movie, but from what I've been reading this is Nicole's 'Monster' type of performance, even more transformative then 'The Hours' I might guess. And all of these reactions have been great! Yes I hope the movie is divisive but that her performance stands out! I am starting to believe that the 2 Oscar Noms talk is really a possibility! (figers crossed!)

Doesn't sound weird at all an unsettling noir is right down my alley. Kidman always delivers the goods in films that unsettle and displease and she keeps pushing the barriers that nobody even expected were there let alone find her demolishing them.

From the co publisher of Film Comment and Indiewire founder Eugene Hernandez:-
Nicole Kidman is mesmerizing in Karyn Kusama’s gtitty, grimy SoCal police story. “We always knew that what we wanted her to look like was a real middle-aged woman with a past that she wears on her face,” Kusama told @vanityfair | #Telluride2018

"Is this the best performance of Kidman’s career? It very well might be. That alone is a reason to see “Destroyer.” But there are other reasons, including the film’s crackling action sequences and suspense. But no doubt about it, Kidman is the real draw here, as her talents are unleashed with unexpected fury to tell an unusual story about an unusual person. A woman whose life choices have haunted to her to the point where she seems to have no life left worth preserving. A woman reduced to grit and sinew and resolved to see justice done at any cost. Kidman said at the Q&A after the first Telluride screening that she’s just happy to still be working at the age of 51. A restless actor who started out her career a corkscrew-haired redhead from Australia, she is now a formidable master of the craft at the top of her game." Gosh. I can't wait for this movie now. Christmas can't come sooner.
