We've been here before, but Rotten Tomatoes are annoying me. They've only added 3 reviews (All positive) that came out since the London Film Festival. There are at least 7 or 8 out there I've read (All positive) that are yet to be added (and they are RT certified critics). Considering some other missing festival reviews as well, Destroyer should be over 90% fresh on RT currently. 84% is great, but over 90% looks that much better. Destroyer seems to be one of this films that even if some critics don't love it, they at least respect it's intentions, so will lean towards a fresh score. Lets all send them emails with link to the reviews to be added. i'm willing to do that.

I've send them email and message on Facebook. I've send thwm like 15 reviews before London reviews came. They only added Nathaniel's Film Experience review and that happened certainly not because of my emails:) Of course I haven't received any response.

They only added Nathaniel's Film Experience review and that happened certainly not because of my emails:) Of course I haven't received any response. I think the smartest move may be to send an email directly to Annapurna, and get someone in their PR or communications department to contact RT directly about the missing reviews. RT probably take communicatione more seriously coming direct from a production company. If you link all the missing reviews and point out Destroyer really could be sitting on 90-95% fresh, if these were added, then someone at Annapurna might care enough to contact RT about theor slackness. It's a perception thing. If Destroyer looks too well recieved, the main argument against Nicole being nominated (or even winning) goes out the window. Hence people always bringing up the average metacritic score of 64, which will defintely go up (like Green Book, which is a Best Picture frontrunner with a metacritic score of 69. That will also go up) Looked at Widows, which has an RT Score of 95% with 65 reviews counted. They added THIRTEEN reviews for Widows written after the London Film Festival, some from minor blogs and sites (like Dog and Cow or The Shiznit.co.uk). All positive, to keep that Widows score in the mid-90's. Guess the check from the Widows team cleared.lol! With Destroyer (which may have surprised rivals by doing better in reviews than expected), they seem to be putting up a minimum amount after a new batch of mmostly positive reviews come out.

Looks like Annapurna is following a release strategy very similar to their Phantom Thread last year.

Been going through articles, other site message boards, social media and commentary on the videos. Overwhelmingly the trailer is getting a great response. Unfortunately, its view count is on the lower side, but I think it's because they had many sources promote the trailer, ie. It wasn't just the Annapurna, the trailer was sourced by fandango, other websites, social media platforms Facebook, instagram etc. as well which might explain things.
but it certainly made the splash and has gotten people talking.

It was an incredible trailer. Worth the seeming delay. Better to put if something that makes a powerful impression, than put out an average trailer just because people say they want one NOW! It does a good job of making it seem like an awards level character study, but also an exciting thriller at the same time. Tough balance. Especially from all the comments I've read, I don't see any trouble with voters (SAG or Oscars) wanting to watch this movie (which was suppised to be another point against Kidman's chances). It'd be the type of film (based on the trailer) that would shoot straight to the top of my screener pile if I was voting for these things. Wheras if I had a screener for something like The Wife, I'd watch it more out of obligation, because Close is meant to be a frontrunner. The movie itself, at least as it's marketed, doesn't seem like something you need to see. Destroyer just looks really compelling.

I think we should ignore it cause it might backfire and they put the bad reviews to spite us.
The trailer has been released now so there is no point padding up her reviews people will judge for themselves.

I wanted to like the trailer but I just did not connect with it. I think my problem was that those FYC quotes lasted too much on screen and they broke the rythm for me.

Nicole Kidman Almost Pulled Out of Destroyer: ‘I Didn’t Want to Go to That Place’During an industry reception for Boy Erased last Friday, Kidman told the crowd that she tried to drop out of Karyn Kusama’s new film because both were so emotionally intense. “I did Boy Erased first. And then I tried to pull out of Destroyer. I did! I went, ‘I’m tired, I’m absolutely terrified to go into that role, get me out of it,’ and I was told that I couldn’t get out of it. I do that a lot,” she said with a chuckle. “Anyone in this room that’s about to work with me, know that! Between the prep — I did an enormous amount of prep — there was a three week break [between Boy Erased and Destroyer].” www.vulture.com/2018/10/nicole-kidman-destroyer-boy-erased.html
