In this episode, my cousin Roya Tavakolian and I break down the critically acclaimed "Poor Things" (2023), directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. Emma Stone shines as Bella Baxter, in a performance that led to her winning Best Actress at the 96th Academy Awards. We highlight the film’s inventive narrative, standout cast, and its exploration of themes like autonomy and societal norms. We also touch on Mark Ruffalo’s intriguing character and the film’s striking visual style. "Poor Things" is available on Hulu and for rent/purchase. Tune in for a comprehensive review of this remarkable film.
