Saw "Poor Things" yesterday. Great movie. 4.5/5 stars.

I'd probably go 5 stars normally but it lost a half star because it was a little too disturbing to fit the bill as a traditional family Christmas movie. But my kids are old so we can handle it.

Anyway Emma Stone is mesmerizing. Willem Dafoe is great as usual. The movie is a spectacle. Highly recommend.
It was really naked…I mean good.

Jut finished. I had an idea of what it was about, but that was not what I expected. At all. It had a great art style. I loved it it. It was like this fantastical art deco, that reminded me of Melies's A Flight to the moon. The color was amazing. Bright and vibrant, almost oversaturated at times. I loved how the color appeared when she broke lose. I appreciated the strange and uncomfortable music.

I loved the story of personal discovery. Personal strength. The uncomfortableness of it all. The strong character arc made you root for the uniquness to never be squash or held captive. The overarching theme of breaking the cycle and chains that bind you. Breaking the cycle of becoming the father who does cruel surgeries, breaking the cycle of becoming your mother of the body you inhabit. Being influenced by your past, but not becoming your past, and becoming yourself.
All I hear reading this is Kramer’s book review for Elaine. 🤣🤣

Was completely shocked that an actor of her status really embraced this glorious nudity in the movie.
