#### Poor Things

I probably would have loved this film in college, spending nights analyzing every scene and camera choice. Discussing the statement it makes on the patriarchy and its \*unique\* take on science. Though, 20 years out of college and I can see why this film was nominated for awards but also not really sure the intended audience. I’m glad it was made, since there aren’t enough truly unique films anymore but this one wasn’t for me.
