Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMark Ruffalo had a lot of doubts about his performance during the shoot. He often half-joked that his friend Oscar Isaac, who was filming on a nearby sound stage, was going to be called in to replace him. One day, Willem Dafoe pranked Ruffalo by taking him to a room where Isaac (who was in on the joke) was waiting. Isaac and Dafoe informed Ruffalo he was fired and, indeed, getting replaced by Isaac.
- GoofsLiving in the late 1800s, with the mind and dexterity of an infant and then a young child, Bella somehow and for no good reason keeps her armpits clean shaven.

Bella Baxter: [on the wailing infant] I must go punch that baby.
- Crazy creditsThe opening and closing credits are shown as a frame around the image.
- Alternate versionsUK version was cut in one sex scene to secure an "18" rating. The cut(s) were made to this scene because it was in the presence of children within the movie. Under UK law, this could be illegal and therefore required removal before being shown at cinemas or distributed within the country.

Featured review
Weirdly Exquisite
Emma Stone's performance is jaw dropping. The movie is a masterpiece like an Einstein Frankenstein. I'd say this is 2023 best movie of the year.
I'd never thought Emma would star in such a role. She did a phenomenal performance with ease and professionalism. I still admire her bug eyes.
The movie is unconventionally bizarre with things that would be classified from a Christian's perspective as abominable. Quite some variable feminist elements in the film, yet still fringe.
This is by far my favorite movie of 2023 and I admire Emma Stone's acting abilities. If you haven't seen "Poor Things", I recommend watching it.
