Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMark Ruffalo had a lot of doubts about his performance during the shoot. He often half-joked that his friend Oscar Isaac, who was filming on a nearby sound stage, was going to be called in to replace him. One day, Willem Dafoe pranked Ruffalo by taking him to a room where Isaac (who was in on the joke) was waiting. Isaac and Dafoe informed Ruffalo he was fired and, indeed, getting replaced by Isaac.
- GoofsWhen Bella returns to London to visit the dying Godwin; she gets off the carriage and closes the door with her empty right hand. However in the next immediate cut when the carriage drives away, she is now holding her luggage with the right hand. In addition in the preceding black and white scene, she is holding the bag with her left hand.

Bella Baxter: [on the wailing infant] I must go punch that baby.
- Crazy creditsThe opening and closing credits are shown as a frame around the image.
- Alternate versionsUK version was cut in one sex scene to secure an "18" rating. The cut(s) were made to this scene because it was in the presence of children within in the movie. Under UK law, this could be illegal and therefore required removal before being shown at cinemas or distributed within the country.

Featured review
Fine weirds
My first impressions were like "wtf have I seen", then I realised that this film's title Poor Things. It became apparent in every aspect of the film, from its narrative to its artistic expression. Every weird scene i asked myself, why this film was made? Why?? I tried to convince myself that the real idea is to show us that "we are terrible humanity that makes things poor", but no, its too weird to be true, I'd rather believe that the director's message is to show naked Emma Stone to the whole world.
I can say only 1 thing, Poor Things is a film for weird people. But those people will still say that's film is weird. Maybe it's the sense. But it's still weird, and i like it.
