I can NOT wait to see this (I mean, obviously I can because I’m not paying for a ticket) but I’m super psyched for when it streams.

I just finally watched it last night. I’d heard so much buzz around it but I was afraid it was going to be a tedious spectacle like Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, which for me was insufferable. There is so much to love about Poor Things - hallucinatory set design and soundscape alone make it worth the watch. I also thought it was horrifying, hilarious, and at times, sweet and tender. It has a happy ending. And God (Shuffled His Feet), so brutalized and abused died peacefully surrounded by the little family he created whom he genuinely loved and was in turn loved by. It’s a crazy, irreverent movie. Lanthimos winks at the audience and some of us wink back.
