Reviews are looking to be solid overall.

I always thought this looked good even though absolutely no one seemed to dig the trailer

Ronan might book herself a fourth nomination with this one, but it's a very crowded field this year.

[The Panda]

Neat, I’ll go watch it

Golden Globes is probably her best chance at a nomination but the field is stacked even there. This should be a shoo-in for a Costume Design nomination though at least.

I hate the trailer. Keep seeing it the cinema.

How "wide" is this supposed to go on the 7th or 14th? Cause even with 400-500 theatres, I'll most likely get a chance to see it.

It’s debuting in 4-5 theaters in NY/LA on the 7th and will expand from there. I imagine Focus will have it fairly wide by Christmas Day.

[WrathOfHan]

I think the plan is 600 or so on Christmas. It'll definitely hit 1-1.5k by January 5 bc On the Basis of Sex seems to be going wide the 11th.

Holy shit a trailer voice-over, it's been a while.

[Gamera]

Reviews are decent, but not great, and it looks like the film is historically inaccurate for PC reasons.

 

--Mary's second husband, Lord Darnley, was not gay, lol.

 

--Lord Randolph was not black.

 

--Bess of Hardwick was not Asian

Make up managed to make Margot look ugly, I didn't think that was possible.
