Yorgos Lanthimos returns with another magnificent film, "Poor Things" is a masterpiece in every aspect. Lanthimos' direction is sensational and his mastery is evident at all times. The cinematography is elegant and manages to be intoxicating. The script based on the novel of the same name is sublime, managing to tell a story of life from the perspective of a woman who grows, finds herself and knows the beautiful and hard aspects of life. The editing is agile and manages to work well with the soundtrack to emphasize the emotions of each scene. The cast is great, mainly the protagonist, Emma Stone as Bella Baxter is at the highest level, a character full of nuances, with a unique body language and an interpretation of different feelings conveyed. Mark Ruffalo makes a great character that is funny, sour and undesirable. Willem Dafoe is incredible in his role, being tough and loving, playing these aspects perfectly. Ramy Youssef gives a wonderful performance, filled with tenderness and body language that demonstrates every emotion of her character. "Poor Things" is a masterpiece full of drama and comedy excellently carried by Lanthimos.
