Poor Things
'Poor Things' is its own liberation movement, and the film's creators, cast, and tinkerers deserve all the accolades they will attract throughout awards season. I'd like to call attention to anyone who loved the series "Penny Dreadful"; in particular, Billie Piper's portrayal of Lily Frankenstein. I didn't think I'd ever need to see someone else's take on a woman brought back to life by a maker with dubious intentions. Emma Stone's performance stands tall next to Piper's, and I hope it inspires writers and directors to make couture for her after they observe the heroic woman she co-created with Yorgos Lanthimos. And Mark Ruffalo, I mean, I was already in love, and I will probably turn off the Oscars if he doesn't win for Best Supporting Actor. — Arno K.
