Okay, I watched it a second time last night, and I have to say, I enjoyed it even more the second time around. Since you can kind of pick up on clues and plot details about the crime that you hadn't noticed the first time around. And honestly, Nicole blew me away. She's unbelievable. So totally convincing in this part, a part unlike anything she's done before. I'm still trying to decide where in my Nicole performances ranking it would go. I'm sure top three now (with Birth and Moulin Rouge). Maybe top two (with Birth). But it may even be my favourite, I'm not sure. It's almost hard to believe she even did this role, because it's such a transformation, and I'm not talking about her looks when I say that.
I can't wait for you all to be able to see it. I hope some critics really champion it because this film deserves some recognition. Because even aside from Nicole I think this is an excellent film.

Oh this is just brilliant! I'm beyond excited when a big kidmaniac says this could be her best performance ever! OMG. Thanks again for the updates Brittany! And I'm thrilled to see this film. Finally see her in leading role with a completely new character. I really hope they at least release a teaser. I need to see Erin.

I can't wait I'm so excited, my expectations are sky high, I don't know how Kidman will deliver.
I'm so glad the film got into fantastic fest.

as a kidmaniac, I'm so lucky. I remember 18 years ago, those past days still remain of me, it was amazing. but now, what a new era, even richer and more beautiful.

Brief review with very high praise for Nicole: aestheticmagazinetoronto.com/2018/09/16/review-tiff-2018-first-man-destroyer-widows/In a career-defining role, Nicole Kidman stars as LAPD detective Erin Bell, a rough-around-the-edges type who is more John McClaine than Marge Gunderson.
Set in a neo-noir Los Angeles, Bell struggles to get her life back on track. Following a bank robbery gone wrong while undercover with a gang of young criminals, Bell must take her demons head on before they destroy her future ends up like her tarnished past.
Kidman is fully absorbed in this role. Her physical transformation into Bell is a feat by itself and her engrossing performance will linger long after the credits roll.
Destroyer will be released on December 25th, 2018.

I'm sure she will be campaigning hard, Star is born is released really soon, Destroyer is not out until Christmas. I think they need to have it out in every film festival they can & Kidman needs to get her campaigning shoes on. I have a good feeling about this. her reviews are just pure raves, if the film keeps getting solid reactions with the right campaign behind it, she could get it. She almost did it with Paperboy which wasn't received half as good as Destroyer.
