Poor Things (2023)
[en.wikipedia; IMDB]
Weird.
Strange.
Crazy - I mean really crazy, not metaphorically crazy - I really mean crazy as in crazy for real, ok?!
Entertaining... for those who can taste such a movie.
Very European given the rather large amounts of philosophy and smart dialogue.
Very European given the rather large amounts of nudity, explicit sexuality & sex scenes etc.
I’m still wondering how they agreed to finance all that in Hollywood?! :)) I can understand Europe, which has been doing it for a long time now... but Hollywood?! Are they changing mindsets or experimenting with new approaches to film making?!
Weird & Strange & Crazy soundtrack - made my ears hurt at times.
Weird & Strange & Crazy scenery / set decorations, visual/special effects, makeup & hair styling, costumes...
Really good acting.
I can understand Emma Stone winning the Academy Award for Best Actress, as well as Mark Ruffalo getting nominated for Best Supporting Actor [en.wikipedia].
Nota bene: I have had objections and shall always have objections against La La Land (2016) [Liviu review] and Emma Stone for the Academy Awards they have undeservedly won back then... but now Emma Stone truly deserves her Academy Award!
I agree with the awards & nominations Poor Things has received so far, including the Academy Awards [en.wikipedia].
Conclusions
Poor Things (2023) is... Weird... Strange... really Crazy, not metaphorically Crazy... with respect to everything... - all those involved either are true professionals with a wild imagination, or have been high the whole time! :) Either way, they got it right!
