The thing about Poor Things is that sometimes is just a bit too much about everything and nothing at once. But in a way, that is what director Yorgos Lanthimos knows how to do best. Emma Stone delivers, without question, one of the best performances of her career by bringing Bella Baxter to life. Her colorful and visually stunning journey through the gorgeous and surrealist versions of London, Lisbon, Alexandria and Paris is every bit funny, nasty, grotesque, dark, sad and emotional. I love the structure of the entire story, how it evolves with color, by development and world building through Bella’s experiences. As the main character discovers hard truths about the world, we get to know fascinating and bizarre characters all around her, with truly remarkable perfomances of the entire cast. At the very end, is a film about female liberation, sex, love, obssesion and science that may not be everyone’s cup of tea but that is ok for me.
