Poor Things: an airport-run cliché stretched into a feature film.

The chemistry in Poor Things is so flat it would fail a high-school lab report.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Poor Things?

Honestly, Poor Things would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Poor Things?

Everyone praising the Poor Things performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Poor Things actually is?

Look, I wanted to love Poor Things. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
