Movie: 100 Nights of Hero
When a charming house guest (Nicholas Galitzine) arrives at a remote castle, the delicate dynamic between a neglectful husband, his innocent bride Cherry (Maika Monroe), and their devoted maid Hero (Erin Corrin) is thrown into chaos.
Based on the graphic novel by Isabel Greenberg. Adapted and directed by Julia Jackman. Richard E. Grant is also in this for like 5 seconds and Charli xcx plays a role in fantasy sequences because it's that movie.

Is this movie for you? You will know pretty quickly. To its credit, it does a fantasy setting well with a limited budget (it's very stylized) and I do feel like everyone involved know what movie they're in and making.
This is only Julia Jackman's second feature and that's really ambitious. I was predisposed to like this for multiple reasons but I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I actually want to watch it again (I need to reread the graphic novel again first, though).
It's in theaters wider tomorrow in the U.S. (although I guess this was a "mystery movie" screening earlier this week) but I feel it's underpromoted and it deserves an audience.
(I feel like the trailer tries to make it out to be more normal than it is. It's not that weird but ... it's probably too weird for most people. It was weird enough for me.)
