The Yorgos Lanthimos film starring Emma Stone is out now, joining the pantheon of Mary Shelley monster tales.

Poor Things

The Emma Stone-led film from Yorgos Lanthimos follows a woman named Bella Baxter (named after Mary Shelley’s childhood bestie) who has been re-animated. The twisted, comedic Poor Things takes us on her journey of discovery through a quick coming-of-age and sexual exploration, as we see Bella experience the beauty and ugliness of a world that might be more monstrous than she is.
