i can't understand all this overkill against all the makeup department. And honestly i m terrified to believe it's actually true. I could not stand to see an amazing Nicole performance and be distracted by something that in 2018 should be really easy to recreate like an old make up for a movie like this. I mean, i cant' believe it could be so fake and distracting. Bill Corso was in charge of the make up prosthetic. He is an Oscar winner, he did the same processing of defacement to Steve Carell in Foxcatcher. He just did the same aging prostethic to Nicole in The Goldfinch too. It can really be that bad? I really can't wait to read the opinions from all the people here, in this forum, who are going to see it at tiff...I'll be anxious since then. I don't know cause is all speculation right now, but, I believe all this overkill against the makeup it's because we are talking about a woman, a Hollywood star... so, a man never would get this reactions, but a woman yes... this being said, the woman who "transformed" herself with all this makeup is Nicole, one of the actresses more criticized about her looks ever... maybe I'm wrong and it's a disaster, but, hey.... we still live in this kind of world..... let's see it when we saw it or when people here see it at tiff..... what I'm sure is that I'm dying to see this movie!!!!!!! really dying!!!!!! can't wait...

Honestly the reception is better than we could have expected. It's definitely not as divisive as "Birth" or "The Paperboy", 2 films I love but whose reviews were very mixed. If it stays at around 70 on Metacritic then Nicole has a shot at a nomination. But I think she stands a better chance with "Boy Erased" (the supporting category is less crowded). a female director helped a bit, until Melissa Mccarthy brings another one.

Kris Tapely has posted a 41 minute podcast interview with Kidman. linkHaven't heard it yet, but he tweeted recently that she gave him a hug.

What an amazing interview, she is so relaxed & open. thanks for posting! the more i hear about Destroyer the more excited i get! what she says about Fair and Balanced at the end is not very promising... she doesn't confirm her involvement and she says it's a very small role.

She does sound like she was enjoying Telluride a lot; apparently her first time there with a movie. She talks about her passion for her art, Aquaman, BLL etc too, briefly. She does sound very proud of her hard work she put into making Destroyer.
Apparently she can't say for sure whether she'll be doing it as she's trying to juggle dates for Fair & Balanced but sounds like she really wants to do the project because she loves Jay Roach (director) and is excited about the prospect of working with Charlize and Margot.

Toronto now has given 3/4 stars but the review sounds like a pan. They said the film was semi satisfying and wished it could have focused more on the grit. Also they slammed Kidman saying the actor was mistaking effort for performance. Ouch! linkReviewer seems riled up! Cinema scope positive review, the Kidman praise is shaky but ends up strong. linkGlobe and mail, positive review with strong praise for Kidman with some reservations. link

I wonder if it'll coincide with the TIFF screening.

but I've to say, the boxoffice number is gonna be a tough one for this film.
it's too dark, and lots of non-fans-audience didn't sign it for ugly version Nic.
hopefully Annapurna had a effective strategy, and please, critics, help us a bit.

I don't think it was ever expected to be a box office hit. Sometimes these dark films get a bit of a fan base of their own, though. So it might do pretty well for a small release.

Those kind of movies aren't very popular in terms of box office but who knows, let's wait and see what will happen without judging the film before even seeing it.
