My wife and I recently went to the theater to see Poor Things. If you like weird movies, it was so much fun, and I highly recommend it.
To be completely honest with you, I didn’t know a lot abou the movie before I bought our tickets. I saw it described as a Frankenstein-esque movie and watched one trailer. That was all it took, and I was like “Totally, let’s go see this.” Now, after seeing the movie, I can say that it was a wild ride.
First things first: If you don’t like nudity, then this movie is not for you. Emma Stone is naked and/or having sex for what feels like 60% of the movie. Most of it was done in such a hilarious way, and mostly with Mark Ruffalo, that you will find yourself laughing throughout.
The story centers around Stone’s character who, while pregnant, commits suicide by jumping off a bridge into a body of water. Mad scientist Willem Dafoe collects her body from the water, puts her unborn child’s brain into her head and reanimates the body to bring her back to life. From there, the story explodes into a hilarious story that must be seen to be believed.
Mark Ruffalo and Ramy Youssef are great in their roles, with Ruffalo being one of the funniest bits of the entire movie. His accent was so good, and I couldn’t stop laughing when he was on screen
I want to check out this book now! As I said earlier, if you are down for weird and funny movies, you should give it a shot. It was a wild ride, and I had a great time.
