Frankenstein Review, Hedda, Christy, Peter Hujar’s Day

Adam and Josh split on Guillermo del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN, but praise its star – not Oscar Isaac as the mad doctor, but Jacob Elordi’s soulful Creature. Also, reviews of Nia DaCosta’s Ibsen update HEDDA, the Sydney Sweeney-starring boxing biopic CHRISTY, and Ira Sachs’s PETER HUJAR’S DAY.

Corrections:

-It is Victor’s brother who tells him, “You’re the monster.”

-Discussing Peter Hujar’s Day, Adam meant to say Peter suggests that women take better pictures “of” men not “than” men, which is why he began thinking about the significance of Linda capturing audio of Peter versus a man.
