Oh well, had hoped not from Hollywood Reporter. His criticism seems to be everybody is unlikable and the film seems self important and affected.

2.5 stars from Clayton Davis he loves Kidman's performance doesn't think the film matches up. That's what I was afraid of since first info about the project. Another ambitious/artistic but flawed/failed project with outstanding performance from Nicole. Birth/Margot at the Wedding/Paperboy/Strangerland situation. Somehow she can't break that spell:) Don't know why. Don't get me wrong I love all these mentioned movies. Even Strangerland and I know Birth and even Paperboy are reedeming/redeemed now. Birth is simply a masterpiece for me. It was never a failure in my opinion. And I like Nicole continues to challenge herself with risky roles/projects... but for once and I was hoping it will finally happen with Destroyer, her performance will be backed not dragged down by the movie. I lover her performance in Rabbit Hole and Lion but I would love to see her being recognized and being rewarded with Oscar nomination for her braver and more risky choices. Not sure what will happen next but I just hope Destroyer situation won't be on par with last years Wonder Wheel.

For me Destroyer's reception is exceeding my expectations and I'm quite happy with the response so far.
Hopefully Toronto will bring it more recognition.

Jeffrey wells from Hollywood elsewhere walked out of the film here is his embarrassing write up, comparing the film to pains of hell. linkAlso he's a snob All we need to know is that Wells is a pathetic movie blogger who never got a career breakthrough like Tapley or Feinberg (or even Sasha Stone) and it shows. Do not read this crap, people, ever. I was afraid to read his review but I'm glad I did. It read as a very juvenile piece, almost unprofessional, by including, among other things, his whiny and unoriginal "inner monologues" and overdramatic descriptions of non-related / too far out situations. Anyway, glad it's a "critique" that most won't be able to take seriously since it's an apparent lazy writing from someone who comes off (at least in his opinion article of the movie) like an amateur armchair critic. I rather like the other critics who may say the movie is bad but takes their time to explain clearly and more originally why.

It's exceeding my expectations as well, especially the reception to Nicole's performance. I was hoping the film will be universally acclaimed but I knew that it's possible that Kusama's work will be a bit divisive. So far, the films is getting more acclaim than I thought (not perfect but has impressive and groundbreaking qualities) and it's certainly getting close to universal acclaim for Nicole's performance.

Completely agreed Nicolek_fili, he's unprofessional and since he walked out I'm glad he can't review the film.

Raves for her are amazing but I wanted the movie to be loved too. I would say the nomination is going to be a tough battle. She really will need to campaign a lot if she wants it.

Oscars: From Hugh Jackman to Nicole Kidman, Lead Acting Races Take Shape in TellurideArticle from Variety putting Kidman in the race for Best Actress. "As the 45th annual Telluride Film Festival begins to wind down, the landscape of lead acting Oscar contenders is beginning to materialize in the early days of the film awards season. On the actress side, Nicole Kidman is turning a lot of heads with her de-glammed performance in Karyn Kusama’s uneven noir “Destroyer.” The film has been a bit divisive, but most agree that the 51-year-old Oscar winner delivers in a role completely unlike anything she’s ever tackled. It’s a true antiheroine, though, a character that could put some viewers off. But it’s thrilling to see Kidman go to such a bold and dangerous place at this stage in her career."
