what i love about poor things

i know this movie is controversial among the "i have to take my media hyperliterally and if the director does not stop the movie to explain morality to me i wont be able to tell whats going on" crowd so i do often feel like i have to justify how much i like this movie lol

  • THE COSTUME DESIGN!! i missed the costume exhibit in london for poor things by like two days when i went over and its one of my lifes greatest missed experiences. but yes! i love the costume design so much! reading interviews with Holly Waddington is so facinating.. the ammount of thought and symbolism in all of these costumes is so so gorgeous. i love that i can keep rewatching this movie over and over again and keep analysing different elements like this
  • this movie has my favourite soundtrack of all time. another aspect of the film where the more interviews you read about it the more you enjoy it and find yourself obsessed with it!! the soundtrack also informs my music and how i love to play with weird sound so so much thank you jerskin fendrix i will love you forever
  • set design
  • i dont feel like i know enough about cinematography to talk about it but god is it gorgeous
  • everytime i rewatch it i feel more and more motivated to experience every part of life i can
