In a year filled with remarkable films, none shines quite as brightly as Poor Things, which has been crowned Film of the Year! Directed by the visionary Yorgos Lanthimos, this extraordinary tale features Emma Stone in an Academy Award®-winning performance as the uncanny Bella Baxter. The narrative takes us on a thrilling ride as Willem Dafoe’s unsettling Dr. Godwin Baxter reanimates Bella using the juvenile brain of her unborn child, igniting a fascinating exploration of a rapidly developing mind hungry for new experiences. Beneath the surface, however, lies a powerful commentary on exploitation and agency that demands to be seen. With its striking visual style—often discomforting yet utterly mesmerising—this film is not just a cinematic experience; it is a masterclass in cinematography and an eerie allegory of a woman’s fight for liberation from oppression. Don’t miss the chance to experience this groundbreaking work that is sure to leave a lasting impression!
