Poor Things opens with a suicide and ends with a brain transplant. Between these acts, we witness the evolution of Bella Baxter (Emma Stone) from an infantile, waddling creature to a rational, hedonistic, and ultimately compassionate woman. Unlike Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein , where the monster seeks a father’s acknowledgment, Bella seeks experience. She rejects the sheltered “experiment” of her creator, Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe), to travel the world with the dissolute lawyer Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo). The film’s central question is not “What makes a human?” but rather “What makes a free human?” The answer, Lanthimos proposes, is the radical embrace of contradiction: intellectual curiosity alongside raw carnality. - Vogue Poor Things opens with a suicide
