- Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: Much like the characters it depicts, the film asks us to look beyond the rough surface to find the beating heart underneath.
- [New] | Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Those who are not lulled to sleep with (The Bride!) will find endless amount of unintended laughter. It was no graveyard smash.
- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Whatever intentions Maggie Gyllenhaal had in making The Bride! are only halfway legible in a film that can never find its tonal footing. There has rarely been subtlety in movies featuring Frankenstein’s monster and related characters, but this one makes all the others seem like stuffy dramas in comparison.

- Scott Davia @ The People’s Movies
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Jessie Buckley adds a fierce spark to the proceedings. Unfortunately, the movie itself keeps coming apart at the seams.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: Good grief, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! is a trainwreck.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: A horror-romance that’s unlike anything else we’ve ever seen.
- Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: Gyllenhaal eschews normality in favor of a directorial philosophy fashioned around, as she has her Mary Shelley put it, being ‘disobedient and ungovernable’… Unfortunately, The Bride!‘s box office performance suggests that Gyllenhaal may have already squandered her shot at being Hollywood’s next go-to female director, but we’re hoping she will continue to deliver the gonzo goods rather than reforming her ‘disobedient geometries’…
- Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Better a flawed but different and ambitious film than just another generic blockbuster. Not everyone will enjoy “The Bride!,”, but I still hope the film will find an audience.
