    I watched Poor things recently and it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in the last few years. It’s visually stunning, the actors are phenomenal and the story is quite interesting and original.

      Saw it in the theater. Well worth the money.

      My only gripe was the black dude playing the cynic on the ship. Dude can’t act. Flawless movie otherwise.

      I’ve been meaning to watch it as well! I enjoyed what I’ve watched from Yorgos Lanthimos so far (Dogtooth and The Killing of a Sacred Deer).

      Overall it was great. Can see why it is sweeping the awards.

      My main gripe with the movie was that the dialogue was occasionally clunky. Like there were two (2!) different scenes where a character threatens to shoot another “in the fucking head” and it’s delivered like a gag but without any real setup. It might be too long as well but less sure of that criticism.
