Frankenstein
Movie • 2025 • Drama
ReportDDD Official Review
Guillermo del Toro's interpretation of "Frankenstein" is unabashedly his. While definitely gory the copious amounts blood, stabbings, cuttings and dismembered body parts does indeed advance the story.
The characterization of Victor, played by Oscar Isaac, is excellent and the film is as much about him as it is the monster. This is a film that makes you think but is in no way boring. It is master filmmaking.
There are some sled dogs but they are never put in harms way. Some wolves on the other hand do get killed gruesomely. There's quite a bit of bone breaking but only one instance of vomit.
Synopsis
Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist, brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.

To contradict previous comment with some more context - The abuser is forgiven after suffering consequences and actually acknowledging the abuse he caused. The message is to break the cycle of abuse, but it might be not enough to not be triggering

People drink alcohol and smoke tobacco. At one point a character is given laudenum ( a mix of opium and alcohol which was used as medicine in the period the film was set in) as a painkiller, and it's only ever used that way.

A character accidentally grabs a razor blade and is cut, however the wound quickly heals. A character holds a lit stick of dynamite in an effort to end their life, but this is unsuccessful. This character's ability to regenerate after injury is a main focus of the story, so the character does not seem to care about physical harm throughout however.

Adam (Frankenstein's creation) is clealy traumatised and violent as a result.
I would say that Victor is never mentally ill, only that he acts in extreme, violent, and emotionally explosive ways. He simply doesn't see other people as having much value, which means his actions make sense to him.

By one of the characters, but not by the film itself. On of the characters (among other things) is a sort of playboy. There is a brief scene with his lover which establishes this without showing him treating her as an object, but other elements of the film build up to show that he does see women that way. At one point, he offers to "give" another man his female relative (to whom this other man is clearly attracted), in exchange for getting what he wants. This is despite knowing that she is engaged to someone else and without any idea of her feelings on the matter. From context, it seems that he had already pushed her into an engagement she felt trapped in for his own ends. He is constantly stroking the tip of his cane, which is a naked woman carved in ivory; symbolically, I would say this builds up the idea that he treats women as sexual trophies and playthings.
