There are things in life that are far more important than watching a movie based on a degenerate premise, no matter how “interesting the story” and how “beautiful” some scenes are. But that’s just me. I doubt my life will be any less full, for missing this movie.

I’ve heard of it, saw one promo for it. While I like redheads (married one), and usually enjoy Emma Stone’s movies, I will certainly be passing on this one - even for the change to see Emma nekkid.

According to BuzzFeed, this “original sex scene only ever featured in Poor Things’ film festival run,” because before being submitted for formal consideration, filmmakers re-edited the scene so that it did not depict “sexual activity in the presence of children.” If it had not been re-edited, it would have violated the UK’s Protection of Children Act 1978.

Wait, what? So the Act allows "sexual activity in the presence of children" as long as you delete the recording of it?!
