Adapted from the novel by Alasdair Gray, Poor Things unfolds in Victorian London and stars Emma Stone as Bella Baxter, a young woman who takes her own life only to be brought back to life by the eccentric scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). In his review, THR‘s David Rooney describes Bella as transforming “in this subversive twist on Mary Shelley from a Frankenstein experiment with — literally — the mind of an infant into an inquisitive girl with a hunger for sex and adventure, then finally, a fiercely spirited, independent woman.”
