Poor Things starring Emma Stone was released at the end of December and it reminds us that film should be creative and a little bit weird. The movie takes risks and gives the audience a visually interesting exploration of humanity. Emma Stone delivers an Oscar winning performance and Mark Ruffalo delivers one of his most entertaining performances to date. Poor Things is sure to get the academy’s attention come nomination day and I can’t wait to see it receive recognition.

Overall I think it was a great movie, visually it was the most interesting film constructed this year. The film clearly used practical effects, miniatures and fisheye lenses to create a fantastical fictional world based on our real one. The use of color and black and white really enhanced the story. We only spend a short time in black and white and it is really used to clarify the withholding of information. Black and white seems like sort of a trend in film lately but Poor Things uses it appropriately. And it is so beautiful to watch. The film earns a very strong 9.5/10, only half a point off for that third act. Poor Things is an innovation in film and one of the best directed films of the year.
