    Poor Things

    ★½

    Can we please move on from the narrative that women empowerment is solely sexual liberation? Is there really nothing deeper than that?

    Poor Things aims to be a feminist-philosophical-existential coming-of-age story about a woman who’s been reanimated with an infant brain, but rather emerges as a hollow, deeply misogynistic and disturbing narrative that fails to lead anywhere meaningful. 
    With the film’s standouts being the performances, cinematography, score, set and costume designs, Poor Things serves as a disconcerting reminder of the…

    Luca Guadagnino’s fiery, lustful, tantalizing eye helped me grasp the true essence of tennis – the conversation, the waltz. He made me desire it, crave it, though I've never considered myself a tennis enthusiast.
