What is Poor Things about?
Kind of like Frankenstein meets Pinocchio?
Yorgos Lanthimos has tip-toed around the edges of the fantastical and absurd with movies like The Lobster and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, but never so explicitly than with Poor Things and the world it depicts.
Emma Stone's Oscar-winning performance sees her fill the shoes of Bella Baxter, a woman reanimated by a crackpot surgeon (Willem Dafoe) after a tragic series of events. In place of the young woman's brain, the brain of an unborn baby is used; bestowing Bella Baxter with the body of a woman but the mind of an infant.
What follows is not your average coming-of-age story, where Bella breaks free of the men who seek to control her, and travels the world.
