   What is 'poor things' about?

   • Everything here is wonderfully bizarre, from the performances and dialogue to the production and costume design. And yet at its core, as is so often the case in the Greek auteur’s movies, “Poor Things” is about the awkwardness of forging a real human connection. We want to know each other and make ourselves known.

   Is 'Poor Things' based on a true story?

   • If that makes the film sound like no fun at all, don’t worry. Only very rarely is it not fun. “Poor Things,” written by Tony McNamara, is based on a 1992 book of the same title by the Scottish novelist Alasdair Gray, who died in 2019, and who didn’t so much spin yarns as weave them into complex—and magnificently unreliable—tapestries.

   Is 'poor things' a good book?

   • In a 1992 piece in the London Review of Books, Coe praised “Poor Things” as Gray’s “funniest” and “least uneven” novel. Asked recently about that earlier judgment, he acknowledged that “digression, discursiveness and deliberate prolixity” make Gray an acquired taste.

   What is the difference between 'Poor Things' and 'the favourite'?

   • “The Favourite” felt arch and knowing, whereas “Poor Things” is about the act of knowing, and, much as Boris Karloff uncovered tenderness in horror, Stone takes a cautionary fable of the early machine age and crowns it with a generosity of spirit—aided, it must be said, by Holly Waddington’s sumptuous costume design. Check out Bella’s sleeves.

   How does 'Poor Things' start?

   • “Poor Things” begins in grainy black and white when Bella is more childlike, with plenty of fish-eye lenses and peepholes to keep us off balance and urge us to lean closer. But it steadily opens up into lush, wondrous color as Bella comes into her own; the nighttime skies during the ocean voyage portion of her journey are particularly awesome.
