Film Information

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.

Reviews

“You’ll never forget the nakedly unafraid performance that Emma Stone delivers in this rowdy and rapturously beautiful blast of feminist whup-ass from Yorgos Lanthimos. You won’t know what hit you, which is just one reason why I’m rabid to see it again.”

Peter Travers
ABC News

“Poor Things is smart and bonkers in all the right ways. This is why it is, arguably, the best film of the year.”

Gary M Kramer
Salon

“Poor Things is an awe-striking visual feast that satisfies the eyes, tantalizes the loins, and feeds the soul.”
