Poor Things (2023)
An alternate universe

During the first half hour of the movie, I was ready to give up on it and find something else to watch. But gradually I got into it -- or it got into me.
Poor Things is an alternate universe, and the ordinary rules of the world we live in don't apply. For instance, you can't just take a brain out of a baby's skull and insert it into an adult's, but you can in this movie.
The characters in this movie couldn't exist in the real world, but that's not the point. The world of the characters is like that in Alice in Wonderland, and like Lewis Caroll's tale, the movie ridicules human pretensions.
In the end, I enjoyed the movie very much, and I think watching it is worthwhile use of time.
