The film will be a Victorian tale of love, discovery and scientific daring, Poor Things tells the incredible story of Belle Baxter, a young woman brought back to life by an eccentric but brilliant scientist. Review: Worth watching if you don’t mind the excessive gratutous sex. - This is a somewhat period setting in the 20s I suppose. The sets are quite impressive yet over time these things become weary to me perhaps. It’s goes from one place around the world by steam ships and so on, with surreal nautical scenes and French art nouveau. One may wonder all the efforts that went into just the sets which gets kind of mind numbing, yet still amazing. The story is good yet the acting and the scripts are even better. The way the protagonist played by Emma Stone, views her experiences is refreshing and awesomely, fiercely independent, and original.. even as she decides that sex is what it is after being exhausted to a point few movies will go. Definitely different. Willam Defoe is also very good like he usually is and mostly does not disappoint. Not an easy character to play I would guess. Overall worth it! That is unless one has a problem with all the sex. It’s a bit much yet did not detract enough for me to make it a problem seeing the movie for what it was worth: funny, whimsical, and with interesting characters. Review: One of My Top 3 Favorite Movies of All Time - I am a movie goer, a film enthusiast--Tarentino could be a brother from a different mother. Poor Things is everything I want in a great film: great acting, superb script, stunning cinematography, and an original approach to the project. Is this movie for everybody? Certainly not, but I would say the same of The Fall by Tarsem Singh and Cloud Atlas by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowski sisters. Emma Stone is simply amazing, as are Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe. Production design, coupled with the Victorian era backdrop, exceeds "fantastic." Poor Things is truly a feast for the eyes. My only criticism is that the nudity, while necessary to the story told, is too much. Tighter shots would have made the points intended. The sex depicted, however, needs no further editing because... ...for me, Bella's evolution is physical, emotional, political, and "empirical." We watch her progress from a tantrum throwing toddler to a medical student, from an egotistical brat to an empathetic "matriarch", from a scientific experiment to a fully formed and fully functioning human being, a woman of character, intelligence and deterimination. Let me also state that I like action movies (the Mission Impossible series), sci fi movies (Alien, Predator, Star Wars series), and westerns (The Searchers, Good Bad Ugly, True Grit). But, as satisfying as those genres are, films like Poor Things raise the bar of cinematic art, and I'm very happy for that.

One of My Top 3 Favorite Movies of All Time
I am a movie goer, a film enthusiast--Tarentino could be a brother from a different mother. Poor Things is everything I want in a great film: great acting, superb script, stunning cinematography, and an original approach to the project. Is this movie for everybody?

Straight Up Pornography with a Plot from the Mind of a High School Deviant
First, DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS ANYWHERE NEAR THIS MOVIE. I think this could very well be the worst movie I have ever seen. I don't know which is worse: the fact that I put myself through wasting time on the cringe - hoping it would take a turn for the better - or losing all respect for Emma Stone - until now, one of my favorite actresses. I just can never look at her acting with admiration any longer. Not because she isn't a good actress, but because now when I see her, I won't be able to rinse the upwards of 20 extremely graphic and prolonged sex scenes she performed in every position from my brain. Not to mention the multiple masturbation scenes and full frontal both men and Stone. She sold her soul in this one. She has ceased being a class-act. She has cheapened herself. It's tragic in my opinion. That wasn't art. It was straight up pornography mixed with bizarre. I am stunned Emma Stone took on this role. No wonder Hollywood critics loved this "film." No wonder Emma Stone won "best actress." It's everything Hollywood has become. It's a horrible shame that Emma Stone has defiled herself to the cheers of a vile and classless Hollywood. I understand the high critics' scores - but the high audience scores? That's pretty depressing if it's a measure of our culture. And the plot...It easily comes from the mind of a maladjusted 17-year-old boy. I don't know if the novel was so twisted and graphic, but I would not be surprised if, in the future, we find out the writer and director are accused of very inappropriate behavior.

Visually Stunning but Occasionally Confusing - Poor Things
I recently watched Poor Things, and it was quite an experience. The film is visually stunning, with incredible cinematography and a unique artistic style that really draws you in. The performances are strong, particularly from the lead actors, who bring depth and nuance to their characters. However, I found the plot to be somewhat confusing at times. The narrative jumps around, and there are moments where it’s hard to follow what’s happening or understand the motivations behind certain actions. This can make it challenging to stay fully engaged with the story. Despite this, Poor Things is still worth watching for its visual appeal and the strong performances. If you enjoy films that are a bit unconventional and don’t mind a plot that’s not always straightforward, you might find it intriguing. Just be prepared for a bit of confusion along the way.

Strangest, Well Acted and Interesting Story EVER
Is it bordering on porn or were there just so many, lengthy sex scenes that it felt like porn? As a woman am I supposed to feel empowered by the "heroine's" sexual exploration (from Milan to Minsk)? The movie felt "overdone" during that particular phase, and the adage about beating a dead horse comes to mind. I'm not sure because I nodded off during sex scenes, mind you (i.e. enough of it to become entirely bored); but I think they may have jumped the shark. Defoe was amazing and totally inhabited his role. Same must be said for Emma and Rufalo as well as supporting actors. Interesting story line, premise, etc., just seemed to veer off course. If that was meant to be the course they should have spared us the interesting part though. I can't say I hated it and in fact there is much to appreciate. But don't think it's appropriate for young minds!

PROLOG: 0 Punkte (gibt es nicht), 1 Punkt, oder 5? Nach einigen Minuten wurde mir klar, das ist eine Geschichte, die mich umhauen wird. Da ist ein Film, dessen Thema zwar bekannt (bezwingen des Todes) ist, aber so neu erzählt, dass ich buchstäblich ohne Worte blieb. DIE GESCHICHTE: ein Haus in London. Spätes 19. Jahrhundert. Sehr interessante Einwohner. Der Eigentümer ist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe), ein genialer Wissenschaftler, dessen Methoden jedoch sehr unorthodox sind. Da wohnt Bella (Emma Stone), ein junges Mädchen mit der Intelligenz (und Herz?) eines Kindes. Mrs. Prim (Vicki Pepperdine) ist sowohl als Haushälterin als auch als Assistentin tätig. Denn Dr. Baxter operiert, experimentiert und macht nur ungewöhnliche Sachen. Da wohnt seit einiger Zeit ein Medizinstudent (oder junger Arzt) Max McCandles (Ramy Youssef), er soll sich Notizen über Bella machen und ihre Fortschritte beobachten. Er erfährt, dass Bella vom Doktor "gerettet" wurde. Eine Tote, die mit Hilfe ihres eigenes Kindes lebendig wurde. Bellas Entwicklung schreitet schnell voran. Ihr Wortschatz wird größer, ihre Bewegungen weiblicher. Sie entdeckt die Lust, will sie ausleben. Da kommt ein schmieriger Anwalt Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo) zur rechten Zeit. Bella verschwindet mit Duncan, fährt nach Lissabon, später mit dem Schiff nach Alexandria. Zuerst ist Sex alles, was sie will. Doch durch Beobachtung erkennt sie neue Welten, stellt Fragen, liest phillosophische Bücher. Duncan will sie für sich behalten, erkennt nicht, dass es zu spät ist. Nach der Trennung verdient Bella ihr Geld als Prostituierte in Paris. Sie sieht den Beruf als Notwewndigkeit, wird dabei zu einer Frau, die Gefühle (er)kennt, die der Welt helfen will. Sie ist pragmatisch, dieser Wesenszug hilft ihr oft. Bella will jetzt ihre Vergangenheit erforschen. In London angekommen trifft sie ihren "God" (so nennt sie Godwin. Er ist ihr Erschaffer!) schwer krank. Er erzählt ihr jetzt, wie sie zum zweiten Mal geboren wurde. Er stimmt zu, dass Bella Medizin studieren sollte, und will ihr seine Praxis übergeben. Doch, bevor dies geschieht, geht Bella noch einmal zurück und wird dabei fast zerstört. DIE GEDANKEN: Bella, nein, Emma Stone (eine perfekte Darstellung!), ist zu Beginn eine Frau, die zwar alles hat, was ihr jedoch nicht hilft. Geistig vegetiert sie, ihr Leben ist/wirkt fast kurios. Auch als ihr Gehirn sich entwickelt, bleiben die Gefühle verborgen. Ihre Fragen sind immer konkret, ohne Filter. In der Zeit, in der sie lebt, siend solche Fragen schockierend, beleidigend. So kann KEINE Frau sprechen, für eine junge Dame ist ihr Benehmen furchtbar. Als sie zum ersten Mal Hunger und Elend sieht und miterlebt, will sie nur noch helfen. Koste, wass es wolle. Sie will WISSEN, sie will kämpfen. Eine Sufraggette ist geboren, die mit ihren Kolleginnen im Bordell zur Emantipation findet. Als sie sich äußerlich verkauft und "Schande" über damalige Genossinnen bringt, wird Bella zur wahren Kämpferin. Sie findet einen Weg zwischen ihrer Frauenrolle und Möglichkeiten, die sie wegen ihrer Stellung hat. Sie bleibt sich treu und geht ihren Weg... FAZIT: Ein Film, der manchmal als Märchen fungiert (eine unwirkliche Welt ist das, was wir sehen), meistens aber als eine Wegweisung, dass NICHTS unmöglich ist. Dass eine Frau durch Klugheit, Wissen und besonders durch LIEBE (fast) alles erreichen kann. Dass dabei wunderschöne Szenen dem Film Flair geben, ist nur gerecht. Bella - Emma Stone - diesmal (auch früher, natürlich) umwerfend. Süchtig kann man werden. Die Regie, alle Schauspieler*innen - große Klasse! Wie wir sehen, ist sie mit Giorgos Lanthimos und Willem Dafoe in "Kind of Kindness" in Cannes dabei. ES bahnt sich eine großartige Zusammenarbeit an. Emma Stone ist zur Zeit eine der besten Schauspielerinnen, obwohl ich Ranking-Listen nicht mag! Und: Nachdenklich ist die Geschichte auch...wer jedoch einen Sci-Fi Film erwartet, der sollte ihn nicht sehen.

Na het bekijken van deze film kun je het alleen maar eens zijn met de filmtitel. Mannen zijn inderdaad "poor things". Prima cinematografie en een glansrol voor Emma Stone.
