Poor Things: Bella's Discovery of the World - Review

A breath of fresh air in terms of cinematic innovation, aesthetics, and content. Yorgos Lanthimos directs and co-writes this film with Tony McNamara, providing numerous moments of entertainment while also provoking thought. The film liberates itself entirely from societal constraints, aiming to rediscover the primal sense of wonder inherent in childhood exploration. “It’s a charming attraction to purity, to something that remains untarnished”, reflects Emma Stone on the film. “It’s a desire to reclaim a part of ourselves reminiscent of our past innocence, urging us to rediscover that purity within.”
