"The female fantasy is as follows: 'if patriarchal and misognyistic culture were erased from my mind, I could experience equal sexual pleasure to men (or even more pleasure, given the capacity for multiple orgasms), and with no fear of consequences (pregnancy, STDs, emotional or physical trauma).'"
"I'm not saying the film is immune from criticisms with regards to pacing, the script, the arguable redundancy of the final 20 minutes repeating themes that have already been state but jesus, it's astonishing how many r-tarded people there are on the internet but also this subreddit sharing opinions"
"am only now not totally freaked out and feel like a weirdo for going to see a film by myself. Probably watch poor things and the holdovers first ;)"
"Emma stone basically plays a toy doll for most the movie and just does it so well it's shocking. Comparing it to what Emma Stone does in Poor Things would be a joke. It's absurd how out of human her performance is."
"The entire premise is 'what if a woman is retarded but then she empowers herself by becoming a prostitute?' All of the humor is either derived from Emma Stone talking about penises or masturbating, or from one of the male characters just saying 'what the FUCK!' like seventeen different times through"
"At no point is Bella depicted as being very upset during her stint as a prostitute. She discusses improvements with the brothel manager and is lightly manipulated, but no more than if she were working at Walmart. Her first time is depicted as a quirked up little fun time where she giggles afterwards"
"Just got round to Poor Things and after looking at the discourse, including on this sub, it is insane how many people still don't understand "depiction ≠ endorsement""
"Comparing it to what Emma Stone does in Poor Things would be a joke. It's absurd how out of human her performance is. It's like someone made a perfect replica of her in clay and did a whole claymation movie with her."
