Yorgos Lanthimos’s new film Poor Things is a masterful playground of wonderment and pain
“Few films in recent years have succeeded to this degree in capturing the infinite possibilities of imagination and curiosity to shape a better world. But Poor Things also maintains consistent playfulness and a light comedic touch. It’s a film that never allows its characters to forget the violence of birth while also finding the poetic beauty that underlines the cruelty of our existence.”
