Imagine watching an adaptation of The Yellow Wallpaper where the husband was proven to be correct in his treatment of the narrator and you will begin to understand my problems with Poor Things (2023) as an adaptation (and, frankly, as a film).

#it's not even that i thought the book was that great!#but leaving out the part where “bella” has her say about how the previous 3/4 of the story was a silly sexist fairy tale #told by her loser husband is very weird!#the noms for best adapted screenplay and ruffalo are bad enough but the costumes literally hurt the storytelling in the film!#honesty the only nomination that it really deserved would have been dafoe (i would trade stone for robbie in best actress in a heartbeat)#this film is my whale in that i want to kill it with harpoons and also in the sense that the whale (2022) was also terrible #anti poor things #< if you're only following for saltburn or other content and you liked poor things go ahead and block that tag #i can't guarantee this will be the last rant i do about this film
