In this Poor Things video essay and Poor Things analysis, I take a deep dive into the new Poor Things movie, starring Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, and Ramy Youssef. Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, the film is a perfect blend of science fiction, fantasy, comedy, and drama, exploring themes of life, philosophy, and feminism. I believe this film is excellent in capturing the major themes of womanhood, consciousness, and liberation through great writing, acting, directing and filmmaking.

Furthermore, in this Poor Things explained video (spoiler-free) and Lucas Blue Poor Things review, I'll delve into the film's symbolism and hidden meanings, uncovering Poor Things easter eggs, examining how it demonstrates satirical irony and societal criticism.

This Poor Things review breaks down why Poor Things is perfect, what Poor Things means for the future of comedy, arthouse, romance, and drama movies, why Poor Things works, and what makes Poor Things so shocking. This is why I love Poor Things. Hope you enjoy!
