The first official tweet from the account is out. Hoping the trailer soon will be too.
Is the movie coming early to cinemas? I would not use "coming soon" if it was being released in December.

Rotten Tomatoes doesn't appear to be in any hurry to publish all the new fresh reviews for Destroyer. It's currently at 73% with 11 reviews. If all the new obviously fresh reviews were added, I'm guessing it'd be sitting closer to 87%. Sort of feel that if there were a rush of negative reviews, Rotten Tomnatoes wouldn't waste much time publishing them on the site.
You can clearly sense the disappointment on the Awardswatch forum that the film isn't a critical disaster either

Keith Urban has a a concert in Hamilton, Ontario (just outside of Toronto) tonight. I wonder if Kidman will be there after all.

I've see this happen time and time again. if RT has a relationship( Dollars) with the studio they tend to be more efficient and generous with their proprtion of Fresh vs Rotten, keeping the rotten on hold till later.

I've see this happen time and time again. if RT has a relationship( Dollars) with the studio they tend to be more efficient and generous with their proprtion of Fresh vs Rotten, keeping the rotten on hold till later. Sounds pretty corrupt. I'd imagine some bigger studios than Annapurna with Best Actress contenders have the money to pay for that stuff, and a vested interest in not having Destroyer have too high a RT score yet, as that obviously makes Nicole extremely dangerous. If the film has 85% on RT, and Nicole has some of the strongest raves in the field, the arguments against her potentially winning the oscar start to look a bit thin. But at least till the December release, Destroyer should be sitting in the 85% + territory with around 20 reviews or so. Which is very good. If other studios are paying and Annapurna isn't, I can imagine RT waiting till December to add some of the fresh reviews from TIFF, and keeping the % in the 70's. If it's in the 80's after TIFF, it's pretty easy to build a sustainable frontrunner narrative for Kidman, no matter what those jokers at Awardswatch trying to drum her out of the race wish.

AW irritates me so much. I like it because there are people from film industry actually but when it come to award races... Can't stand it. Now they are not even mentioning Nicole in predictions.

AW irritates me so much. I like it because there are people from film industry actually but when it come to award races... Can't stand it. Now they are not even mentioning Nicole in predictions. She's too much of a threat this season, if a narrative is built around her. Especially with the very real possibility of double nominations and a non-stop run of critical praise for two years. If they don't mention her in predictions for Destroyer, they hope it'll kill her buzz and make room for whomever else they want. I think they are happy to relegate her to only competing in the supporting actress category this season. But I wouldn't worry about it....It's just a fake made-up narrative on that forum, and hasn't taken hold anywhere else. As Trump likes to say, Fake News!! It's a narrative contradicted by practically every review out of TIFF, which almost all seem to say that she'll be a major contender in the Best Actress race.

Personally speaking from my longterm experience following Kidman and her career, these reviews/raves for Destroyer ( and to an extent boy erased) I'm coming across are some of the best in her career. you know they're so will written and thought out, they actually are taking her seriously as an actress, something that has become a phenomena as of late.
She has consolidated what she earned from her work last year with a substantial critically lauded lead performance in film, something we havent seen in quite a while. She is taken seriously as Virtuoso of her craft.
