Destroyer - Karyn Kusama (2018)

Nicole Kidman's performance notwithstanding, I found the film rather underwhelming.

Is that Nicole Kidman on the cover of that record or is it Rob Lowe?

I swear, she looks more or less totally different in every role, not jsut a little different, but a LOT different. I think she might not wholly contain Earth Human in her DNA, so wild is her appearancial variability.

Rather than reading my shallow insights, you'll be better off with this incisive summary.

My one comment would be that Sakura Ando should get the Academy Award for best supporting actress.

She was astonishingly realistic and believable.

I liked that film.

I liked it also, it's one of those films that the actors have to be convincing in their roles, playing their parts unironically, having real sincerity. I also thought the two pairs were very good: Rolf Lassgard & Bahar Pars, Ida Engvoll & Filip Berg.
