Poor Things

In Victorian London, there was a reason for the childlike nature of Bella Baxter (Emma Stone), ward of eccentric scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe)--since she was a pregnant suicide that the doctor resurrected and gave the brain of her own fetus. Spurning a smitten assistant (Ramy Youssef) to run off with a degenerate solicitor (Mark Ruffalo), Bella's evolving self-determination may be more than any can handle. Director Yorgos Lanthimos' acclaimed dark fantasy-dramedy earned four Academy Awards, including Best Actress for Stone. 141 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
