Review of Poor Things

Poor Things (2023)
4/10
Hype was too much
16 March 2024
The Poor Things was interesting and well realized film, but it really missed a soul. It felt empty. It didn't have underlying message or anything.

If you would remove all the sex scenes you would end up 35 minutes short film. It also was borrowing quite a much from cult classic Frankenhooker.

This Greek director has the style of doing over the edge film - with strange sex and violence - but he really should build up the stories more. Actors were great, but they were doing a bit - like in some comedy special.

Music was too strange. It is fine and dandy to brake the borders of normalcy, but try to reach at least some ascetics while doing so.
