Release date: 8 September 2023 (UK)
Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
Screenplay: Tony McNamara
Distributed by: Searchlight Pictures
Based on: Poor Things; by Alasdair Gray
Cinematography: Robbie Ryan
Poor Things uses Bella Baxter’s rebirth to explore identity, autonomy, and the absurdity of societal rules. Through her chaotic, joyful journey of self‑creation, the film dismantles Victorian morality, exposes the hypocrisy of male control, and celebrates a woman discovering her body, her mind, and her power on her own terms. It’s a Frankenstein story flipped inside out — the monster becomes the most human person in the room.
