It's totally a test of Annapurna's PR and marketing machine now. It's not your feel-good holiday movie or a Denzel vehicle.

do you guys think she might get an academy award nomination for her role in destroyer? i mean according to the reviews that Nicole gave a terrific performance in a very unique movie even if it doesn't cover any new ground.

Wow www.joblo.com/movie-news/review-destroyer-tiff-2018-146Kidman’s performance, for my money, is one of the best of her career, and an iconic action part that reinvents her as an actress. She’s well-supported by an edgier-than-usual Stan, as well as a charismatic Kebbell and Maslany in what’s really an amazing part. Kusama’s action scenes are top shelf, with a bank robbery midway through both action packed and terrifying in its intensity. In fact, there are a lot of terrific action beats, while Theodore Shapiro’s score is a game-changer for a guy mostly confined to comedies.
Its crazy to say, but in a festival filled with Oscar contenders, the low-key, noirish DESTROYER is the one that I think is going to stick with me the most. It’s an unforgettable crime epic from a perspective I can truly say is unique. It’s a new classic of the genre and one of the best films of the year.

Positive flavorwire.com/614614/flavorwires-2018-toronto-international-film-festival-diaryNicole Kidman first appears in Karyn Kusama’s Destroyer clunking down the road to a crime scene, winded and dragging; she’s bruised and battered, and sports a low, quiet voice with a hard, brittle edge. She is at the center, if memory serves, of every single scene of the movie, and up to the task; this is a taut, muscular performance, playing a cop who, perhaps unwisely, goes rooting through the skeletons in her closet. Kusama moves her star, and her camera, through these silky L.A. nightscapes in a style reminiscent of Michael Mann; between the visual aesthetics and the dazzling bank robberies and shoot-outs, Kusama basically remade Heat, but with Kidman in both roles. If that doesn’t sell you, I don’t know what will.
