“THE BRIDE! unapologetically walks down the bloody aisle with style and verve, sparking mixed reactions — some question its unity, while many more wholeheartedly say “I do” without a prenup.” (Rotten Tomatoes)

“[Maggie] Gyllenhaal has crafted an imperfect rebel yell that invites you to surrender to its dream factory-fueled delirium. Ignore the naysayers, and don’t wait until it amasses a cult following. This jittery contraption deserves to be appreciated now, not later. “ (Miami ArtZine)

“A shocking, violent, and genre-bending tale of love, deception, and female rebellion brought to life with a punk edge.” (ThatShelf)

“[Maggie] Gyllenhaal, at least, seems to be having a good time… It’s nice to see a filmmaker trying to surprise her audience as well as herself. “ (The Ringer)

“This gorgeously debauched film amounts to a chaotic, an uneven but oddly beautiful collision of ideas, all captured by an agitated camera as electrically charged as the life force that reanimates the bride herself. “ (Observer UK)
