Review of Poor Things

On a hot note, a very good film. It leaves room for reflection, for thought, for very interesting considerations. Also interesting is the atypical method, the unusual technique used to emphasize how raw the reality of human nature is. Precisely because it is raw, it is repressed by numerous social customs, conventions, and habits sometimes unjustified, more often senseless, and even more often so automatic that they are now considered "evening prayer." This also makes one ponder the possibility that human nature is itself conflated as a concept. For, crude and bestial as it is, it can also leave room for compassion, perhaps precisely to protect that part of its species that crudeness cannot accept. Also must be considered very well-written characters, very well written, phenomenal evolution of everyone. Very good colours. Very good cinematography. The script sometimes provocative, more often disturbing, manages to raise awareness of a more raw and natural, more original emotional part that often lies dormant. This is one of those films that has the power and characteristics to make you reconsider the human as a species or the human as an animal. It is one of those films that makes you reconsider the madman or the drunk that you hear talking aloud to yourself on your way home from the movies.

It is one of those films that, in my opinion, can be liked or disliked, but something will always leave a person with something if they make an effort to go beyond the superficial image of the video and instead engage in analyzing the motif of the film.

Often the "natural" behaviour is censored, hidden, by the "polite society" Harry speaks of (the man in the boat) that "it will destroy you", conventions that erase the naked, dirty and bestial as well as unique and original nature of the human, to make room for something always produced by him, but precisely to protect those who cannot accept this nature.
