“The hard cut from one of the setting cards to Ruffalo saying “theres a woman on fire, come look” was the hardest I’ve laughed in a movie theater all year.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It reviews better than it plays — admired more than it is enjoyed.
“It amounts to a dizzying feast of cinematic excess. But there is intellectual traction and psychological grit to the project.”
Donald Clarke, The Irish Times · 100
“Everything in it – every frame, every image, every joke, every performance – gets a gasp of excitement.”
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian · 100
“Poor Things is the best film of Lanthimos’ career and already feels like an instant classic, mordantly funny, whimsical and wacky, unprecious and unpretentious, filled with so much to adore that to try and parse it all here feels like a pitiful response to the film’s ambitions.”
Ryan Lattanzio, IndieWire · 100
“This triumphant adaptation, which premiered last night at Venice, strip-mines Gray’s book for all its funniest, fizziest and sexiest ideas, and leaves the chewier, more literary stuff on paper, where it belongs. I’d say purists might bridle, but speaking as one of them, I wasn’t just relieved, but overjoyed.”
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph · 100
“A funny, sad, bawdy, beautiful concoction that will haunt and provoke in equal measure.”
Jane Crowther, Total Film · 100

“When the circumstances of our lives don’t suit us, it’s time to reinvent ourselves – something that happens both literally and metaphorically in this latest offering from director Yorgos Lanthimos. But the way that result comes about here represents a truly inspired fusion of genres, including comedy, romance, social commentary and sci-fi, making for one of the most inventive, unusual and hilarious releases of recent years. This offbeat feminist fable tells the story of how a pregnant, young, an”

“Director Yorgos Lanthimos sweeping cinematic spectacular film that explores the life of what it means to be human, a woman, what exactly is life, and what is love. The tale follows Bella Baxter, a woman who had been given another chance at life in the weirdest medical experiment. The film will make you think.
