Atom User Reviews for Poor Things
So no one is going to even acknowledge the fact that the main character has the brain of a child and is engaging in horrifically lewd sexual activity?? Pedophilic and disgusting. I love Yorgos' style, creativity and originality, but this was absolutely abhorrent. As a…
Just cuz Ema Stone acts in a movie does not mean its gonna be good. there were no warning signs of this movie being so creepy and R++ rated.. I thought 2023 movie Menu was bad ,, but this one tops that. walked out of theater after suffering for 40 Minutes.
misleading movie, very horrible, not comedy as stated, false trailer and depictions.
Terrible! This movie has ross nudity, low budget, bad writing, nothing good to even say about the first 30 minutes, we left after that and we weren’t the first to walk out either. Worst movie I have gone to hands down. 0 stars!
Just awful & obscene! I hadn’t read anything about the movie before going in, but I liked Emma Stone and thought I would give it a go. Big mistake! I wasn’t expecting the sex-crazed character portrayed by Emma Stone. I walked out, when I couldn’t tolerate sitting through…

this had SO MUCH potential. and my disappointment has nothing to do with the sex scenes, more so the context and nuance behind them (emma stones character is literally a child in an adults body) and the gross lack of actual story. the movie could have started so many…
Lots of sex scenes. Bizarre and quirky film. Girl meets world and feminism. Sexual awakening of Frankenstein.
Astoundingly weird, grotesque in places, and darkly humorous. Had a great time with it
I am obsessed! Great movie!
You’ll love it or hate it lol
Not family friendly at all!! Very different
Style, directing, costume and set design - beautiful Plot and dialogue - ehh
unbelievable how 75% of this movie was sex scenes.
Best movie I’ve seen in years!
Awful movie
Amazing , watching for a 3rd time tonight
Great movie The entire cast is top notch The story is engrossing visually captvating and this is Emma Stone's best performance to date A must see in the theater this was my second time seeing it
Emma Stone is fantastic using such a range of emotions and actions!
Good movie. Funny. empowering. great visuals. discovering human nature **
This movie is one of the worst movies I've seen since Dumb and Dumber! which I walked out on. Don't waste your money! Watch it on Netflix
Never seen anything like it, which is the norm for Lanthinos but I think his film was discontinued to get better and better and weirder and I love every minute of them
Great visuals. Great story. Amazing cast. Great production design. It touches on the absurdities and complexities of life.
Not sure what all the hype is about
Great cast, lousy script. It’s all about sex. Not even a good sex story. Kind of creepy when you think it’s a child’s brain in a grown woman having all that sex… Not my fave.
Wasn’t expecting that but it was great
Bizarre, hilarious, and ultimately profoundly heartwarming.
Odd.
I really, really….need to punch that baby.
Metacritic
Both literary and cinematic, “Poor Things” gives the audience everything we can ask for in a film—beauty and wonder; hefty ideas and clever storytelling; twists, shocks and laughter.
It has plenty of the bizarre visual flair Lanthimos cut his teeth on, from his signature extreme wide angles up to and including a bulldog with the head of a duck frolicking through a grand living room. Yet Poor Things, based on a 1992 novel by Alasdair Gray, is joyous in its weirdness, joyous in its exploration and celebration of its strange, strange world. This movie is incredibly fun to watch.
Lanthimos may have cobbled together a rambunctious psychosexual odyssey from many Frankensteinian parts — a little “Alice in Wonderland,” a dash of “Metropolis,” a soupçon of Voltaire by way of the Marquis de Sade — but he and his skilled collaborators have marshaled them into a remarkably coherent and purposeful vision.
