Story:
Sci-fi romance directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. Poor Things (2023) centers on Bella Baxter (Emma Stone) who is brought back to life by 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 slick and debauched lawyer Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), and travels across continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.
We’ll add the best quotes once the movie is released and we’ve had a chance to watch it, but for now, here’s a small selection.
