Emma Stone's 'Poor Things' Wins Accolades for Audacious Storytelling

Stone's portrayal of Bella Baxter, a woman discovering life in a patriarchal society, earns praise in Yorgos Lanthimos' award-winning film.

Emma Stone stars in 'Poor Things', a film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, where she plays Bella Baxter, a woman brought back to life by a scientist after she drowns, with the brain of her unborn foetus inserted into her skull.
Bella's journey in the film involves her discovering the world as a child in an adult's body, learning about sex, food, and the constraints of living in a patriarchal society.
The film ends with Bella gaining control over her own destiny and household, a significant shift from the men who attempted to control her throughout her life.
'Poor Things' is described as a sci-fi comedy with a feminist twist, set in Victorian London, and has been praised for its audacious storytelling and remarkable performances, particularly by Emma Stone.
The film has been nominated for several awards and recently won two Golden Globes.
