Oh wow. MANOHLA LIKED THE MOVIE. That's all we actually needed, guys. I just hope it becomes an official review, fingers crossed.

She's isn't too excited about Kidman's Oscar chances due to the film's difficulty in finding an audience, but she says Kidman is in top form.

Oh my god . I really want and need Nicole to get nominated for Destroyer or Boy Erased . I feel anxious right now. Many people are dropping Nicole from their prediction.

Short but nice review and love the reference to Nolan's Memento. www.thereelroundup.com/2018/09/destroyer-tiff-review.htmlDeserving of multiple viewings in the same way as a film like Christopher Nolan's Memento, Destroyer also features daring turns from Tatiana Maslany and Toby Kebbell. However, it's Kidman who unquestionably owns the screen from start to finish. As a woman who's been to Hell and back and who won't rest until she's taken those who've wronged her back with her, this is one of Kidman's most indelible roles to date.

On the bright side, up to 83% on Rotten Tomatoes with 29 reviews. A few strong ones yet to be added.

I've kind of been ruminating on the wig thing this week, and decided to type up some thoughts. I made a twitter thread about it if anyone wants to read. The more I think about it, it kind of bothers me more. I know it will blow over, and probably already has. But I just felt compelled to defend Nicole in the situation. The thread starts with this tweet:

Well said Brittany, she must have felt very disappointed that all that hard work was reduced to a wig.
Hopefully the film manages to breakout and be seen.
Do you think it has any chance of being commercial or is too bleak, is it bleaker than killing of a Sacred Deer, I mean I had a panic attack and had to take deep breaths during that film. I knew Koasd wouldn't be able to connect with people.

I knew Koasd wouldn't be able to connect with people. I think it's more accessible than TKOASD, definitely. I think if anything it would be recognized for Nicole's performance. It's a genre film and very gritty, but it's a hard call whether it will do well awards or box office wise. I think great reviews and a good rt score would really help. I'm watching it again in 3 hours.

To be released in fantastic festival in Texas on 25 September. A festival specialised in genre films. And it's 84% on rotten tomatoes 👏👏👏 fantasticfest.com/films/destroyerBRIEF SUMMARY Nicole Kidman gives the performance of a lifetime as LAPD detective Erin Bell, a human weapon of escalating vengeance, in the brilliantly grounded new drama-action-thriller from Karyn Kusama. DESTROYER is a legitimate masterpiece, the most powerful American film about alienation and misanthropy since NIGHTCRAWLER, though that’s where the comparisons end. Director Karyn Kusama (FF favorite THE INVITATION) keeps an objective view of her authentically flawed characters, each relentlessly racing toward their own brand of self-destruction. Every performance is solid, but Nicole Kidman attacks hers with such valid intensity that you’ll forget you’re watching an actor in a role. Instead, you’ll recoil from every withering glare, left hook, and bullet that Detective Bell dishes out on her cataclysmic path to redemption.
