Despite a generous playtime of almost 140 minutes, time passes by faster than in most action movies.

Emma Stone is fantastic! Just like everything else in this imaginatively absurd and extraordinarily funny horror comedy about women's liberation and rebellion.

The highest rating for the wildly fun Emma Stone in "Poor Things"

All the components of the film are so masterful that one cannot help but be amazed, just like Bella, at what it means to be a woman first and a human being second.

It is grotesque, sordid, fast-paced and intellectually captivating all at once.

Emma Stone is superb as a feminist Frankenstein's monster variant in a wonderfully twisted romantic comedy.

It's a phenomenal and clever film that celebrates an open mind and autonomy.

Yorgos Lanthimos' first film since 'The Favourite' is about a scientist who revives a woman with an infant's brain.

Yorgos' style is not really my cup of tea and the film doesn't quite reach the heights that many others have praised it to be. But I was extremely glad when I saw it and I particularly like the whole concept behind the film.

Lanthimos' least cynical and sterile film, even though it cuts just as deeply and securely into the rotting soul of humanity as The Lobster.

Yes, regardless of how one chooses to see it, I think it is Lanthimos' strongest film to date, and I'll probably actually watch it a third time if I get the chance.

A wonderfully crazy masterpiece. The question is whether the film is too wacky to ultimately win so many prizes...
