Review of Poor Things

Poor Things (2023)
9/10
Brilliant!
31 December 2023
Beautiful film! The 2hrs 21min went by fast. There was not one dull moment. Pure artistry. Cinema at its finest. It's been awhile since a film really pulled me in.

A dark comedy questioning morality, society, life - all the way to existing on a daily basis, add to that the self-discovery of power of women.

I loved everything about it: the film's textures and colors, make up, costumes, sets, soundscape (although Tom Waits would have done an amazing job with the soundtrack) and ALL the actors (even the supporting actors) were brilliant!

The script must have been such a pleasure for the actors to work with for them to deliver of the layers it demanded. There were so many nuances, I need to go back as I am sure I missed more than half the nuances.

When the absurd feels natural and authentic, that's when the Director's hand carefully sews the story seamlessly.
