About 'Poor Things'

Part “Frankenstein,” part “Barbie,” part NC-17 film, “Poor Things” tells the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella (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.

    “Poor Things” plays out like a feminist “Frankenstein.” A mad scientist reanimates a dead woman using the brain of an infant and she must learn the ways of the world. Emma Stone won a Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of back-from-the-dead Bella Baxter. The supporting cast is phenomenal with Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, and Ramy Youssef as three men who love Bella.

    This film from director Yorgos Lanthimos also won Oscars for Best Production Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and Best Costume Design. Be forewarned: this film contains more nudity and sexual content than most mainstream movies.
