Overview
- The film begins a limited U.S. theatrical run on December 5.
- Writer-director Julia Jackman adapts Isabel Greenberg’s 2016 graphic novel into a stylized, medieval-adjacent fantasia.
- Emma Corrin plays Hero opposite Maika Monroe’s Cherry, with Nicholas Galitzine, Amir El‑Masry, Charli XCX, Felicity Jones, and Richard E. Grant in support.
- The plot centers on a wager that gives Manfred 100 nights to seduce Cherry as Hero stalls him with a single serialized tale about persecuted sisters.
- Early reviews are mixed, praising production and costume design and standout performances, while critiquing the storytelling as rushed or thin; a pre-release clip underscored the film’s sapphic intimacy and bisexual love triangle.
