I’ll just pop my take on it from the Movies I’ve Seen Recently thread.

Poor Things - A Yorgos Lanthimos film. For many of you, this is all that is needed by way of description (for both “I gotta see this” and “I am never going to see this”). He’s like Wes Anderson, except for more body horror, gore, and explicit sex than Wes.

I enjoyed this one, it’s got the usual deadpan characters and black humor in a steampunk setting. More along the lines of The Lobster than The Favourite. Not for everyone, but will not disappoint fans.

Lanthimos is a very quirky, mannered director. If you’ve seen and liked The Lobster, you’ll enjoy it. If your past experience is with something that constrains his ability to reimagine how the world works, like The Favourite, you might be put off.
