Poor Things" Movie Review: A Feminist Spin on "Frankenstein"

In this latest film from director Yorgos Lanthimos, Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone takes on the role of Bella, a young woman navigating her sexual awakening and quest for independence in a Victorian-era coming-of-age tale. Adapted from the 1992 novel by Alasdair Gray, the film is a fantastical and feminist spin on Mary Shelley's classic "Frankenstein," with a mix of whimsy, grand adventure, and mad science.

Stone shines in the lead role, able to reach a deep emotional place as Bella evolves from an infantile state to a confident and independent individual. Her ability to convey the character's growth and development is phenomenal, and she is sure to be a frontrunner for another best actress Academy Award.

The film's use of black-and-white and vivid color transitions is also noteworthy, as it adds to the overall sense of wonder and magic that permeates the story.
