Poor things make me feel like I am seeing an animated painting with its bright color grading and filters. We had seen Emma Stone prove her versatility as an actress in multidimensional words. She did some mistakes in her career in the past but she redeemed herself in her more recent films. Her performance in Cruella still resonates with me. Director Yorgos Lanthimos Puts us in this trippy world. A world that looks like Victorian England but with modern technology beyond our imagination. It is like a fantastical retrofuturistic delight for the eyes. It felt so weird and psychedelic that my eyes are begging for more even if I have no idea what is going on. Emma Stone is given a talented roster of supporting cast consisting of Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, and Ramy Youssef.
Poor Things Official Trailer
Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe) is a scientist who plays God and makes creatures you may consider an abomination. I mean imagine a Goose with the body of a pug and a pug with a body of a goose. Such creatures do not make sense but he can make them exist. His greatest creation though will be Bella Baxter. (Emma Stone). She was a corpse he found in the ocean who seems to come from an older time where women barely have rights. He uses a kind of science beyond our world’s logic. He electrocuted the body and she came back to life.
She doesn’t behave like a normal human but she is learning fast. Bella is curious about the outside world and wants to learn more about the world and herself. First, she remembers her name and we will get to see her evolve as a human and as a woman. She will meet Duncan Wedderburn(Mark Ruffalo) A Lawyer with questionable intentions. They will have adventures together as she discovers herself. Poor Things will be in theaters this September 8, 2023. Despite its whimsical trailer, It is not for Kids. It is R-18 because of nudity and sex.
