Is it at the movie theater or will it be on streaming?  I love her.

It’s a hard R - my local reviewer commented that even he had to avert his eyes at some of the scenes. A version of Frankenstein, where a pregnant woman dies and her brain is replaced with that of the child she is carrying. Stone is supposed to be incredible in it. I’m still thinking if I want to see it in the theater or wait.

@Alter Ego
The premise sounds bizarre and disturbing to me. Weird. Dehumanizing almost.

I'm not sure I would call this movie a "hoot."

 

"It plot focuses on Bella Baxter, a young Victorian woman who, after being crudely resurrected by a scientist following her suicide, runs off with a debauched lawyer to embark on an odyssey of self-discovery and sexual liberation."

It sounds absolutely wretched. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Yorgos Lanthimos has also directed The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer and The Favourite.

 

As interesting as his films are, I suspect they aren't for everyone.  They generally include images that are difficult to watch.

 

And those images will stay with you.

@just bee I watched The Killing of a  Sacred Deer, and never again. I could hardly finish watching that....I doubt I will see Poor Things!

Doesn't sound the least bit funny!

And there was no one left to speak out for me....

We watched last night.....

disturbing - not funny. Dark!

wonder if Emma used a body double for her frequent nude scenes?
