Review of Poor Things

This film looks amazing and has a great cast that all do an astounding job. The film also has many darkly funny moments despite the subject matter. However it will not be all things to all people and, despite wanting to really liked it, I found myself a little bored by the pacing in the latter half of the movie and found the story, heading reached lofty heights with its setup, failed to really hit home at the end. I just felt that there could have been more to it. As a cinematic experience though, this is really out there though there are many, many familiar influences behind some of the scenes (Bram Stoker Dracula for instance has some bearing on some earlier scenes one feels). That said, whatever inspirations came from elsewhere, this remains a truly original work and one that probably deserves to be seen at least once. Purely for the story, it would be maybe a 5 or 6 out of 10 for me but the cinematography and acting are superb so I'll bring it up to a 7/10 overall and, though I wouldn't necessarily be rushing to watch it again soon , it has certainly left a mark!
