New Arrival Poor Things

DESCRIPTION

In Victorian London, there was a reason for the childlike nature of Bella Baxter (Emma Stone), ward of eccentric scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe)-since she was a pregnant suicide that the doctor resurrected and gave the brain of her own fetus. Spurning smitten assistant Max McCandles (Ramy Youssef) to run off with degenerate solicitor Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), her evolving self-determination may be more than any can handle, in Yorgos Lanthimos’ acclaimed dark fantasy-dramedy. 141 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
