(AP Photo/Chris Pizzello). 'Poor Things' I'm not a movie re-watcher. If I've seen a movie once, I would typically rather spend the energy watching something new than re-live something I've seen before. That said, I've been thinking about Yorgos Lanthimos' acclaimed, Oscar-winning movie "Poor Things" since I last saw it. On a whim, I recently showed it to my fiancé. For those who haven't seen "Poor Things," it's a science-fiction black comedy film that defies genre boundaries in a fun way. Who would expect anything different from Lanthimos? It follows the story of Bella Baxter (Emma Stone), a peculiar girl who's full grown but seems to have the mind of an infant. You watch her grow and figure out the human experience at a break-neck pace. The film is impeccably written. Though, a disclaimer, as [Emma Stone's grandmother Jean Morgan]( (who lives in Willow Valley Communities) said in an interview with me, it's "not a grandmother's movie." But it is a movie worth seeing twice, which is perhaps the highest praise I can give. Did we spot you? [6611bd9b34f77 image] Our photographers are always out and about.
