Jessie Buckley snaps between multiple characters and shows the chaos that causes, with Christian Bale as “Frank” as her straight man as they run amok in 1930s America. He’s an interesting take too, emotionally volatile, superhumanly strong but prone to pain and a sometimes collapsing lung, but most of the big ideas centre around her, some barely touched on like her ability to see what wrongs men have done to women, one of the things that starts a revolution in her image.
Sketching a world where the Monster alarms some but less so others and Frankenstein’s work is known only in scientific circles, some choppy editing shows through just how many ideas are involved, but it looks great and sounds fun as well.
Sometimes violent including sexual threat but most surprisingly only a 15 for some of the language.)
