Movies like Poor Things

“Poor Things (2023) is a 2020s period-piece body-horror that reframes Victorian interiors through high-contrast chiaroscuro and grotesque corporeal imagery. Its central conflict pits emergent bodily autonomy against entrenched patriarchy, articulated through depth-staging, disjunctive match cuts, and layered diegetic textures. The film reconfigures feminist emancipation into an audiovisual study of bodily agency and social reconfiguration.”
