“Emma Stone shines in Yorgos Lanthimos’s latest eccentric film, and Taylor Swift’s concert film finally arrives for home viewing.”
This week’s selection offers something for everyone, from Emma Stone’s bold performance in Poor Things to the mesmerizing live experience of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert film. In Poor Things, Stone takes center stage in a deeply unconventional narrative from Yorgos Lanthimos, known for The Favourite. Stone portrays Bella, a woman revived from death with the brain of her unborn child by the mad scientist Godwin (Willem Dafoe). As she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, she becomes entangled with the charming, yet self-serving Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), who aims to control her. Set in a surreal, Victorian-inspired world, Poor Things is a strange and delightful comedy based on Alasdair Gray’s novel.
