Poor Things (18)


  • Gloucester Guildhall 23 Eastgate Street Gloucester UK (map)

Directed by: Yorgos Lanthimos | USA | 2023 | 142 mins

Cast | Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott, Jerrod Carmichael

Emma Stone gives a wild, revelatory, Golden Globe-winning performance in Yorgos Lanthimos’ (The Favourite, The Lobster, Dogtooth) spectacular adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s 1992 novel.

Brought back to life by her scientist guardian (Willem Dafoe), Bella Baxter (Stone) is an extraordinary creation with the body of a young woman but the mind of a child. Desperate to learn about the world, and to sate her desire for sex, travel and experience of all kinds, she runs off with a debauched lawyer (a delightfully unhinged Mark Ruffalo) on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from prejudice and inhibition, Bella seeks pleasure, equality and true liberation.

“Emma Stone has a sexual adventure in Yorgos Lanthimos’s virtuoso comic epic” ★★★★★ The Guardian
