Poor Things
Brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist, a young woman runs off with a lawyer on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, she grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.
Critics Sentiment
Bella, Max, and Toinette begin new life together
General Alfie reveals Bella's past and threatens violence
The film recovers dramatically from its lowest point during Alfie's threatening control to its triumphant finale where Bella achieves complete autonomy.
Poor Things maintains strong audience appreciation throughout most of its runtime, with particular praise for Emma Stone's performance and the film's visual audacity. The middle section featuring extensive sexuality and prostitution creates the most divisive reactions, while the ending delivers a satisfying resolution that critics found both absurd and emotionally resonant.
