An absurdist black comedy filled with visual treats and gutsy performances about a young Victorian woman (Emma Stone) who, after being resurrected by a mad scientist (Willem Dafoe) following her suicide, runs off with a debauched lawyer (Mark Ruffalo), where she learns about what it’s like to become a woman, again.  (dir. Yorgos Lanthimos, Ireland/US/UK, 2023, 141 m)

“Stuffed with rude delights, spry wit, radical fantasy and breathtaking design elements, the movie is a feast. And Emma Stone gorges on it in a fearless performance that traces an expansive arc most actors could only dream about.” The Hollywood Reporter
