Über diesen Film

Filmemacher Yorgos Lanthimos inszeniert diese unglaubliche Geschichte über die fantastische Entwicklung von Bella Baxter (Emma Stone), einer jungen Frau, die von dem ebenso brillanten wie unorthodoxen Wissenschaftler Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe) wieder zum Leben erweckt wird. Unter Baxters Schutz ist Bella begierig, zu lernen. Hungrig nach der Lebenserfahrung, die ihr fehlt, bricht Bella mit Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), einem raffinierten und verrufenen Anwalt, zu einem rasanten Abenteuer über die Kontinente auf. Befreit von den Vorurteilen ihrer Zeit, ist Bella fest entschlossen, für Gleichheit und Befreiung einzutreten. In den Hauptrollen sind Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott und Jerrod Carmichael zu sehen. "Poor Things" wurde von Tony McNamara nach dem Buch von Alasdair Gray geschrieben und von Ed Guiney, Andrew Lowe, Yorgos Lanthimos und Emma Stone produziert.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

Not good. I don't understand the love this film has gotten. I couldn't stop looking at the clock while watching. The first half at least had a good chunk of humor to keep you interested. After that, it just was a drawn out softcore porn film. If you really like seeing Emma Stone's nipples and seeing her have sex, this movie is your type of content. If you're looking for anything outside of that, this movie falls short most all-the-time. Don't waste your money cause you're not missing anything.

Shades of Frankenstein but really I think the underlying theme of the movie is the age long struggle between the sexes. A tongue and cheek snipe at men who for so long has had the pivotal role in Hollywood ever since the time when man first discovered the wheel or was it woman? Putting that aside and copious amount of nudity, it was delightful and entertaining throughout. It was different, it pulled you in and the squares don't fit in the round holes but who cares, I had fun watching.

the first bit was creepy and weird. once I got through that, I really enjoyed the emerging personality of the MC and the beauty of the way it was filmed. I can see how some people might get hung up about their concepts of sexual morals. That is the point ;)
