POOR THINGS analysis:
Just as I thought I've seen everything from movies, something like this shows up and shakes my perception! I really enjoyed Yorgos Lanthimos’ World of Poor Things: including it's… peculiar, portrait of God.
As a Christian, I saw some truth in the relationship between Bella and Godwin. Bella is human nature: curious, naive, stubborn. Played brilliantly by Emma Stone (who just got her rightfully deserved Oscar yesterday) who sells this - and I say in the best…
This is it: this damn movie, it won me over entirely. I am absolutely enamored with Babylon.
An ode to cinema whilst an expose of the “asshole of Los Angeles” that is Hollywood. It perfectly encapsulated what I love about movies: all the effort it takes to capture the perfect shot; the hypnotic energy of seeing a motion picture on screen; seeing how production constantly evolves.

Man, it's worse than I imagined; like, I know it's a meme to riff on the first one, but I appreciated it so much more after walking out of the most boring three hours of cinema! Shocked nobody feels the same.
Maybe I'm dumb? I feel like this movie isn't deep, emotional, or entertaining. So what's the point? What world is Cameron…
Stunning throughout. Love is a beautiful thing and this is a movie that cherishes that. All the joys, the lows, the awkwardness, the silliness, the determination. Total feel-good cinema.
