I saw the movie Poor Things today and it blew me away. It's definitely 18+ and not for everyone's taste, but having said that, I thought it was a brilliant film, gorgeously shot with a fabulous script and topnotch acting. The cast was simply amazing and I can't get the last act out of my head. I'll definitely be watching it again! Emma Stone deserves Best Actress 💯
