Poor Things
STARTS DECEMBER 22
From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster, The Favorite) comes the tale of Bella Baxter (Emma Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter's protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick on a whirlwind adventure. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation. (R)
"It can be hysterically funny and incredibly disturbing, sometimes in the same beat, and it’s the most visually accomplished film that Lanthimos has made." Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
