Is Poor Things on your movie-going radar this January? It certainly will be after you've read the enthusiastic responses from Unlimited members who attended last night's preview screening.
Oscar contender and Golden Globe winner Emma Stone portrays Bella Baxter, a childlike adult who sets out to discover her identity and sexuality. Bella's bizarre steampunk world is marshalled by director Yorgos Lanthimos, famous for the acclaimed likes of The Favourite. As you would expect, Poor Things is filled with his trademarks including memorably cracked humour, outrageous set-pieces and bulbous-fish-eye camerawork.
Anchored by Stone's intensely physical performance, Poor Things has many complex things to say – and often goes about it in the most bizarre way possible. Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe also star in a movie that's widely tipped to sweep the forthcoming Oscars and Unlimited members have now cast their verdict. Read their responses and then scroll to the end to book your tickets.
In one word BRILLIANT, my first ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ movie of 2024. Emma Stone is just amazing. Yorgos knocked it out of the park with this one. @PoorThingsFilm #CineworldUnlimited

It was a very strange movie but with brilliant performances from the entire cast especially from Emma Stone. The story is definitely weird but well written. For me it's a one time viewing but I definitely suggest checking out the movie! Overall Score: 7.8/10! Grade: B+! 😁😁😁

Bizarre but an absolutely stellar self-discovery film with knockout performances by Stone and Ruffalo. Incredibly witty and quick comically but underpinning the film is a beautiful discovery of identity through Bella Baxter. The panoramic cinematography is breathtaking. Stunning.

I absolutely ADORED this. Totally off the wall, incredible cinematography, wonderfully surreal. And the humour landed just right, the auditorium was in stitches at times! Already want to see it again.

I've never heard so much laughter while watching a movie than while watching this. It's weird, wacky & wonderful!

Absolutely mad. Visually stunning, powerhouse performances throughout (especially Emma Stone). Never knew where it was going next.
