TL;DR

Maggie Gyllenhaal says Warner Bros. pushed to tone down some sexually violent scenes in The Bride!, resulting in a slightly trimmed version after mall test screenings. She notes consent as a major issue for the Bride of Frankenstein-inspired film, argues the violence should be hard to watch, and says the movie is now in theaters with Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale.
