Comment by Juke Jules SUBS:

If you enjoyed the riddle that was Cronenberg's "Crash" you should get the same sort of enjoyment from Poor Things. Everything seems to be some kind of a metaphor, around the nature of love, control, and ageing. As in Crash there is a lot of "strong sex" throughout the story but non is pornographic, it is there to serve some intellectual purpose.
No spoilers, but the final dénouement is amusing enough, though probably not worth sitting through the previous two hours for.

Sweet Jesus!

I know some film-makers gather a reputation through being bold, daring and offensive, in order that we should bow our heads at how little understood they are, and therefore we must bow our heads in reverence... after all, if we don't understand it, it must be genius... right?

And while Dear old Lars certainly has a flair, even a vision in film-making, it feels like he just wants to see how far he can push that unquestioning, and unqualified worship, by being as deliberately offensive as possible.

(I'll never forgive him for putting an image of my sweet, lovely Bjork dangling from a rope in my head in Dancer In The Dark!)

...For this is bleak, grim, and nasty.

I'm sure others will pontificate about the deeper meanings and such, but it seems only to inform us of the perils of home-therapy, in the wake of a tagedy.

(You may be married to a psychiatrist, but that is what Defoe's character comes to realise at his cost, is the very thing that should disqualify him from attempting to fix his wife)

Some truly nasty scenes, and images in this you just don't need in your brain.

Shocking... absolutely.

...art... possibly.

.....Good..... not so much.
