Cinema-goers struggle with the shocking sex scenes in Poor Things, showing that Watford is not prepared for the film.
Emma Stone, the leading lady of "Poor Things," has certainly been making waves with her performance in the highly talked-about film. After months of anticipation, the movie has finally hit UK cinemas, giving British audiences the chance to witness the wild and explicit spectacle for themselves.

With descriptions such as "nightmarish" and "surreal gothic horror cheese dream," it's no wonder that cinemagoers approached the film with caution. Some even joked that they weren't sure what they were getting themselves into. One friend even shared with me their experience of watching the movie in a nearly empty theater, where a woman afterwards commented that the film was great, but perhaps too much for the town of Watford.

It's no surprise that "Poor Things" has been receiving buzz during awards season. Director Yorgos Lanthimos's latest creation has been making headlines since its premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where some viewers reportedly bolted for the exits due to its raunchy content. Even leading lady Emma Stone has been praised for her daring performance, with one critic dubbing her "one of cinema's horniest legends" for a particular scene involving an apple.

But it's not just the sexual content that has audiences talking. "Poor Things" also delves into dark and taboo subjects, such as a graphic scene where Stone's character, Bella Baxter, teaches two young boys how to have sex while working as a prostitute. This scene had to be re-cut in order for the film to secure release in the UK, and even then, it still caused controversy.

Despite the scandal surrounding the film, many viewers have been raving about it, hailing it as a "wholly original, outrageously unorthodox, and wildly uncompromised vision." Stone's performance has also been praised, with some even predicting that her character, Bella Baxter, will become a cinematic icon.

But the film isn't for everyone. Some have been taken aback by its explicit nature, with one viewer jokingly commenting that watching it at 10 in the morning was definitely a "choice." And while some may find the film shocking and disturbing, others have found it to be a thought-provoking and visually stunning piece of art.

Stone herself has defended the film's explicit scenes, explaining that they are an integral part of her character's journey and growth. She also believes that it is important to portray her character's lack of shame and complete freedom with her body.

So, whether you love it or hate it, "Poor Things" is a film that is sure to leave a lasting impression. As one viewer put it, watching it is like being in the middle of a surreal Victorian gothic horror cheese dream – but with a soul. And in the end, isn't that what great cinema is all about?
