Poor Things (Blu-ray + Digital Code)

The movie was well made to be a twist of a classic book with more ridiculous situations. Not my favorite, but for those who love film it is fantastic.

I didn't watch this physical copy, but I've seen the film roughly twenty times. I have even read the book that the film was adapted from! Emma Stone's performance is a masterclass in both nuance and a certain insanity that she plays so well that it very much immersed me in her story in the film. Being a film by the famed Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth, Kinds of Kindness), I expected a wonderful and unique film, but him and the cast went above and beyond. There is such a cohesion to the film and Bella's outstanding character arc that it only made me ask one question: what more could a film fan ask for? The costume design was second to none and the entire film just worked and was such a potent, riveting and thought-provoking piece (that just happened to be aesthetically pleasing as the icing on the cake that is Poor Things!
