I hated Poor Things but I watched the entire movie just to see what all the fuss was about and I regretted it. Taking advantage of intellectually challenged people and framing it as “sexy” does not sit well with me. I honestly question an A-list actress for doing a film like this. It felt like a Victorian era Barbarella pedophile movie.

Well said. I do not understand how this issue of consent can be so easily overlooked or flat out ignored in this day and age. I cannot believe this article has only a handful comments or that I had to really search to find this in depth analysis. The film’s stance on consent of minors, and those with mental or emotional disabilities, basically anyone in the vulnerable adult population is indefensible. It was intentionally done. Along with the rest of it mentioned in the article, basically turns back the clock on women’s empowerment. And we’re giving all the accolades to this? Disgusting.

As a PhD graduate who studied feminist discourse analysis and received the award eleven years ago and a wife of a children’s social worker I found the way this film was completely uncritically acclaimed truly disturbing. This is much needed analysis.

Thank you so much for writing this. All my friends loved the movie. I am told that I dont understand the feminist message. I am so sad to see that the movie got away with so much.

This is one of the only reviews like this online – the rest all ignore the consent issue which is sickening. Thank you for articulating the problems with this movie, brilliant piece of writing.

How you came out of this viewing under the impression that Bella had no agency I will never understand. Apologies to you Danny but this piece is a total misapprehension of the film from top-to-bottom.

You didn’t ask her about the experience of doing her first full nude scene? I’m always fascinated about why actresses decide to do that and how it felt filming it.
