Poor Things movie review: Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone have triumphed again
Nearly six years after the runaway success of The Favourite, Lanthimos returns with Poor Things, an incredible story that bears more than a hint of Frankenstein or Coppelia but with touches of Tim Burton to boot.
The Greek director originally made his name as a maker of weird comedies that were perhaps too dark to garner much love beyond the festival circuit. The Favourite changed all that, and Poor Things will only further cement Lanthimos’s popularity.
