I saw Poor Things within days of seeing Oppenheimer and both reminded me of the those 70'-80's film with gratuitous sex scenes that do not advance the plot but are only there to show a woman being assaulted, raped, or a hyper sexed.
It's a male fantasy of feminist autonomy that revolves around women finding 'true liberation' by pleasing men with sex. Frankly, not much different from the 50'-60's sex romps which was all about women in bikinis dancing for men and having sex off screen.
Great costumes, interesting sets, but hard to tell if it was real or CGI/AI. I kept thinking if it was AI then how many people in Hollywood lost their jobs. The monster animals were funny.
Personally, i found it one dimensional, and rather tedious starting after the first quarter. Very tedious in the second half; Bella has sex again, Bella has sex a lot, Bella has sex with a woman, Bella has more sex with a man. A man is going to circumcise Bella because Bella had sex. The interesting character was the Black Man on the ship, and he disappeared quickly.
I would have enjoyed it more if Bella had opened up a hospital for the poor and saved lives by being smart. Even if Felicity had started speaking full sentences.
After the first half I thought Emma Stone deserved the Oscar. But after watching the second half, no actor deserves the Oscar for one dimensional porn.
Lilly Gladstone was robbed.
