Poor Things is a movie of unsavory urges and scratched itches that pull the viewer down a pernicious drain of unconscionable behavior. There is a dark comedy buried in the muck of Poor Things that curdles to the surface in the final third as our strong female becomes the master of her own fate, body, heart, and business. Read more

For all the lavish excess of its cinematography, score, production and costume design, Poor Things is anchored by a remarkable lead turn from Stone. Read more

Poor Things is een even bizar als briljant één-tweetje tussen Yorgos Lanthimos en zijn muze Emma Stone. Samen zijn zij hoofdverantwoordelijk voor het waanzinnige en absurdistische sprookje dat Poor Things is. Read more

Het verhaal zelf, een moderne echo van Frankenstein, wordt met zorg en precisie verteld. Lanthimos weet de absurditeit en diepgang van het bronmateriaal te vangen, waarbij de reis van Bella niet alleen een fysieke, maar ook een intellectuele en emotionele odyssee wordt. Read more

Een macaber sprookje voor volwassenen; in alles onconventioneel en gedurfd. Lanthimos weet op dat vlak voortdurend te schitteren. Deze film is ongetwijfeld van zijn hand, en hij maakt het zoals altijd volledig eigen. Read more

Bella Baxter en dat levert op z’n zacht gezegd hilarische situaties op. Allemaal in goede banen geleid door Emma Stone samen met een Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo & meer. Read more
