Poor Things (2023)
7/10
Objectification of women?
14 April 2024
The film has some entertaining moments, but my biggest problem with this movie is what has also been mentioned here in some reviews. In fact, I think that the message that the movie wanted to send out ended up being the opposite. Most of all, it gives the idea that the person who wrote this has some perverse fantasies about little girls.

I can't find much meaning in this movie. I can deal with the idea of the woman who committed suicide and put her daughter's brain in her mother's body, but it's really in the sense of a black comedy, not very deep. It was the premise they came up with to try to explain Bella's story, but deep down, the woman ends up being completely objectified throughout the movie, and it ends up being too long in terms of the number of times the film repeats itself in its message.

Overall, the movie was entertaining for me (more at the beginning), the filming and scenery are interesting, and the dialogues too, but it's impossible not to criticize the wrong aspects of it. As I said, the movie is very long, and I made a huge effort to stay awake, because little by little I started to lose interest.
