Poor Things has been one of the most talked about films of the last year times and took the Oscars 2024 by storm last night with director Yorgos Lanthimos praised for his epic film about self-discovery.

The film, which is taken from the book 'Poor Things' by much loved Glaswegian author Alasdair Gray and stars Emma Stone in the lead role of Bella. A woman who is thrust into a world she must learn to navigate after being brought to life by unorthodox Scottish scientist Dr Godwin Baxter.

It already has a near perfect 92% on film review site Rotten Tomatoes and is cited as being a film that "packs an emotional kick" and "an attempt to wake us up, to clue us into the behaviours and violences we replicate over and over again". It's spellbinding - and here's when you can watch it in the comfort of your own home.

What is Poor Things about

Poor Things takes place in a futuristic world and see a eccentric scientist bring a pregnant woman back to life after she kills herself by transplanting the brain from her unborn child to hers. While she is adult in physical form, the woman (Bella Baxter) is of infant mind and must learn how to live in the same vein as a newly born child would.

Kept in house by the scientist, named Godwin Baxter, she begins to have desire, urges and a need to leave the 'family' home and runs away on a whirlwind adventure across the continents with a charming lawyer, where she grows to be free, make her own choices and grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for liberation.
