FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/poor-things-venice-film-festival-review-emma-stone-shines-in-the-best-film-of-the-year-so-far/

"Not only is Poor Things the best movie of the festival, but it's also the best of the year so far, as well as a new personal favorite of Yorgos Lanthimos' career.

A brilliantly thought-provoking, insanely hilarious story packed with substance, focused on a fascinating self-discovery journey filled with thematically rich layers. Astonishing performances from the entire cast, but Emma Stone is truly impressive as an exceptionally expressive force... read the rest.

When the circumstances of our lives don’t suit us, it’s time to reinvent ourselves – something that happens both literally and metaphorically in this latest offering from director Yorgos Lanthimos. But the way that result comes about here represents a truly inspired fusion of genres, including comedy, romance, social commentary and sci-fi, making for one of the most inventive, unusual and hilarious releases of recent years. This offbeat feminist fable tells the story of how a pregnant, young, anonymous suicide victim (Emma Stone) is reanimated with the aid of a brain transplant from her unborn... read the rest.

It's almost as if Yorgos Lanthimos had sat down for a transcendental conversation with James Whale! Student "Max" (Ramy Youssef) is a student recruited by his professor "Godwin" (Willem Dafoe - aka "God") to come and help him work on his latest project. She's called "Bella" (Emma Stone) and it soon transpires that she is the product of some very creative surgery on the part of "God" - a man who has, himself, had one or two experiences under the knife at the hands of his scientist father! You see, a pregnant woman took her own life by jumping from a bridge, but was luckily fished out of the wate... read the rest.

Superb! It's quite the ride!

I don't have the film school-esque analysis to adequately describe all this, so I'll very much leave that to others. What I can note, though, is that I had a great time watching 'Poor Things'. It's incredible. I have many a positive, though the main one is obvious: Emma Stone. All I can say is: Bravo! A truly outstanding performance!

Another major, major plus is the music. Wow! Sensational. It's so commanding throughout, blowing me away in what felt like every few minutes... and yet, it never distracts or takes you out from any scene unfolding onscree... read the rest.

Fantasy drama- comedy adult film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos (The Killing of the Sacred Deer, The Lobster, The Favourite) and written by Tony McNamara (The Great, The Favorite, Cruella), being based on the 1992's novel by Alasdair Gray, that Lanthimos liked and even went to Scotland in 2009 to buy the direct of the movie.

Having a victorian semi-steampunk and exquisite atmosphere it tells the story of a newly created woman Bella Baxter, with her body reanimated by the eccentric surgeon Godwin Baxter, that discovering that after her suicide jumping a bridge she was pregnant, and uses the unb... read the rest.

How old when they start banging her? Very much a baby when she's a hot retard. If this isn't proof of pizzagate, I don't know what is.

Recommend watching as much as possible in the theatres and retiring to your most leisurely of spots for a pirated ending. Super enjoyable performances. Violent. Sensual. Lots of titties. A little long.

Director Yorgos Lanthimos sweeping cinematic spectacular film that explores the life of what it means to be human, a woman, what exactly is life, and what is love.

The tale follows Bella Baxter, a woman who had been given another chance at life in the weirdest medical experiment.

The film will make you think. It will stun you with its visual prowness from the direcotr, and the cast commitment to staying in character throughout.

Although I found the film to be the strangest tale mixed with aspects of Frankenstein and Eat, Pray, Love.

Do not try to think too deeply about what you se... read the rest.

Men bad. Interracially promiscuous socialist prostituted bisexual sociopathic women good. The end.

Thank you, feminism. I'm surprised there were no transpeople in this thing. Maybe in the director's cut.

Boring. So, so boring. You're sooo boooooring.
