-Al The Strange ""pour tiNgs...Wat a moovi.
Hehehe...it funny how tat girl stompz arond Sayz funny things. And tha old man burps up bubbles.
Its like Frankenstein, innit? Altho these blak-and-white bits ar funny, like Spider Baby.
Than, the girl goes with the guy on an adventur. It starts to be Wes-Anderson-like, with all them funny-looking sets.
Hehehe, the dance scene is funny. And that bit where she wants to punch a baybe.
As the film goes on, it has less sexy scenes, don't it? But we can see the woman's learning. Starts to talk all fancy, then the bloke gets mad about it. There's something going on with her, isn't it?
Ah, I see how it is. It's not the same adventure as these other films. It's the adventure of life, to go from living for pleasure to learning. From learning to empathy. Then to experience and rediscovering the past.
It's an absurd premise that's often funny because of how Bella's growing mind clashes with the world at large. But beyond the laughter and shock value, Bella's journey brings an insightful view of the world and all its pleasures and pain. Her thirst for experience and trajectory towards the punchline ending tracks along a natural learning curve that we all experience, swaying from juvenile hedonistic impulses to intellectual thirst (and even some combination of both). Leave it to Yorgos Lanthimos to lead us on this bizarre journey, through so many fish-eye lenses and eye-popping scenery, layering each scene with equal parts comedy, dramatic weight, and surrealism. Emma Stone brought Bella to life in a remarkable way, in a performance that shows attention to both physical and emotional nuances. The rest of the cast keeps pace with the mad world, with special compliments to Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, and Ramy Youssef. This production boasts impressive set design, vivid photography, a delightfully weird music score, and quaint special effects. It is a marvelous-looking film that elicits visceral reactions through its more grotesque details, but it tells a fascinating story of maturity and worldly experience that shows more humanity than the average monster movie.
...tehehe...the final scene was funny...”
-Mandalorian "A "diabolical ****fest" of a masterpiece.”
-freeyourmind "I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this film… it’s one of those hit-or-miss films. The comedy in Poor Things helped keep the film fun to watch. Emma Stone’s physical comedy in this film is almost as great as some of the top comedians in the business today.”
-Creed "Lanthimos' Poor Things can be viewed as a more mature, adult, and arthouse Barbie. It's also better, lol. Stone's transcendent, as Baxter's story of self-identity, independence, and self-discovery excels through humour, darkness, and tons of sex.”
-The Debts "Easily the most I've liked a Yorgos Lanthimos picture to date, this adaptation of Alasdair Gray's novel is as crude and perverse as it is intelligent and kind hearted. Emma Stone does her best work here as Bella Baxter, a character I feel should become a iconic woman protagonist for the ages while the rest of the cast goes all in on the strange and off kilter vibe here (Mark Ruffalo in particular). And unlike other Lanthimos films, this is the one where I wish it was 20 minutes longer, which is definitely a plus in my book.”
-Zoop “A creative production design and impeccable costuming command this black comedy.”
