If you missed the theatrical release of the Academy Award-nominated film 'Poor Things' last year, you now have the opportunity to enjoy it from the comfort of your own home. With an impressive 11 Oscar nominations, including best picture and best actress, this R-rated comedy directed by Yorgos Lanthimos has garnered significant attention and is the second most-nominated film at this year's awards.
'Poor Things' has been a topic of debate due to its abundant nudity and profanity, making it one of the most divisive films of the past year. If you're curious to see what all the buzz is about before the Oscars ceremony this Sunday, Hulu is offering the film for streaming. The movie is accessible on the platform, with subscription plans starting at $7.99 a month for the basic, ad-supported option. New subscribers can take advantage of a 30-day free trial to watch 'Poor Things'.
For those who prefer other viewing options, the film is also available for rent or purchase on various VOD platforms such as Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play, and Vudu. Additionally, starting March 12, 'Poor Things' will be released on Blu-ray and DVD for those who prefer physical copies of the movie.
Based on the 1992 novel by Scottish writer Alasdair Gray, 'Poor Things' follows the story of Bella Baxter, portrayed by a lead actress, who plays a character akin to 'Frankenstein's monster.' Created by an experimental scientist, played by Willem Dafoe, Bella has the body of a grown woman but the mind of an infant. Her escapades with lawyer Duncan Wedderburn, portrayed by Mark Ruffalo, lead to a whirlwind, adventure-filled journey around the world.
The star-studded cast also includes Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott, Margaret Qualley, Hanna Schygulla, and Jerrod Carmichael. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has received a remarkable 92% 'Certified Fresh' rating from critics, adding to its acclaim and anticipation among audiences.
