Related: About this forumDid anyone else watch "Poor Things"? I thought it was kind of interesting, with lots of full frontal nudity,
and a really off-color sense of humor.

(108,955 posts)I am not opposed to nudity as an important aspect of the story or setting. That said, all the "buzz" about this movie leaves me suspecting it is all gratuitous and exploitative--just for that "buzz."
I'll gladly be corrected by those who have seen it... But, I don't think I am alone in not being tempted by the attention given it. Films that trade solely on nudity pop up every decade or so. Hardly a new phenomenon.

(154 posts)I thought it was a funny coming of age story and sexual awakening that was told from a woman's perspective. Sure there was a lot of both male and female nudity but it fit the context. And it felt, to me, that it showed a woman's sexuality without the judgment or shame that is inherent in this culture .

(12,743 posts)It reminded me of a Peter Greenaway movie with the set design and vibrant colors. Agree the sex and nudity never felt exploitive.
I’m glad I watched it and think Emma Stone totally deserved the Oscar, but I’ll never watch it again, I don’t think.
