From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and producer Emma Stone comes the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter's protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.
FILM REVIEWS
★★★★★
"POOR THINGS itself is an equally – and brilliantly – surprising hybrid: a feminist coming-of-age story, monster movie and bawdy, foul-mouthed sex romp that the Greek alchemist has somehow forged into a masterpiece" - PHIL DE SEMLYEN, TIME OUT (FULL REVIEW)
★★★★★
"This film comes to us from an elite group of talent... Everything in it – every frame, every image, every joke, every performance – gets a gasp of excitement." - PETER BRADSHAW, THE GUARDIAN (FULL REVIEW)
GRADE A (CRITIC'S PICK)
"The best film of Lanthimos’ career... mordantly funny, whimsical and wacky, unprecious and unpretentious, filled with so much to adore that to try and parse it all here feels like a pitiful response to the film’s ambitions." - RYAN LATTANZIO, INDIEWIRE (FULL REVIEW)
