Om den här filmen

Filmskaparen Yorgos Lanthimos har regisserat denna makalösa berättelse om Bella Baxters (Emma Stone) fantastiska utveckling. Hon är en ung kvinna som har väckts till liv på nytt av den briljante och okonventionelle vetenskapsmannen dr Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxters beskydd är Bella ivrig att lära sig. Hon törstar efter den världsvana hon saknar, och rymmer med Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), en elegant och utsvävande advokat, ut på vilda äventyr över kontinenterna. Som en kvinna fri från sin tids fördomar växer Bella sig stark i sitt kall att kämpa för jämlikhet och frigörelse. Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott och Jerrod Carmichael spelar några av de andra huvudrollerna i "Poor Things", som är skriven av Tony McNamara baserat på boken av Alasdair Gray samt producerad av Ed Guiney, Andrew Lowe, Yorgos Lanthimos och Emma Stone.

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 ;)
