Movie Review: Poor Things

See it? Rent it? Or skip it?

Skip it. In fact it is close to being one of those movies you rent from Redbox with a free rental coupon, give it to your neighbors to watch, then steal their lawnmower. At least you will get something out of it.

Seriously, we almost left and went to see Godzilla Minus One just like we almost did with Napoleon. It was slow, full of sex, and pointless. If you want to see Emma Stone naked, multiple times, having sex, go see it. If that is what turns you on. Other than that I saw no point in it. I should have known better since Willem Dafoe was a main character. Much like The Lighthouse, it sucked.

What I said about The Lighthouse applies to Poor Things:

$8 damn dollars down the drain. 

I felt I needed to wear a black beret, smoke a thin colored cigarette, eat at a open air cafe with free roaming feral cats, drink an overly expensive espresso while talking about the inherent meaning of the film, it’s underlying implications, and how it would affect me as a human being who just wasted $8 damn dollars.

What the living hell was this all about?

Do yourself a favor. Skip it.
