Guillermo Del Toro is publicly declaring his love for “Digger.”

Del Toro took to X to call out naysayers of Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s film ahead of its Friday release. “Entirely Petty headline,” the director wrote in response to a review of Warner Bros.’ R-rated black comedy. “Love it or not. And yes, I do. The film delivers in scale, ambition and reach at a theatrical screen level. Daring, bold and cinematically complex. Decidedly a theatrical experience.”
