Poor Things Description from Rotten Tomatoes:
From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and producer Emma Stone comes the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter's protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.
NOTE: viewer comments from Rotten Tomatoes: "Poor Things is a weird, wild good time and Emma Stone is fantastic in it -- just be prepared for adult themes that may unsettle or offend some viewers."
Rated R, 2 hours, 21 minutes in length
