Poor Things

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye dissect the 2023 film Poor Things. Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Academy Award-winning Emma Stone, Poor Things is a surreal and visually stunning tale of transformation, liberation, and self-discovery. Stone plays Bella Baxter, a young woman resurrected by an unorthodox scientist, who embarks on an adventure of enlightenment and exploration, challenging societal norms along the way. Is Poor Things a brilliant and provocative reimagining of identity and autonomy, or does its eccentricity overshadow its emotional depth? Find out on Uncertain Age!
