POOR THINGS
January 12 - January 18
$6 – $10
From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and producer Emma Stone comes the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.
“This grand buffet of a film, likely the year’s most audacious effort and certainly one of its best, comes from visionary director Yorgos Lanthimos and is his most out-there film yet.”
— Adam Graham, Detroit News
