4.0

It’s supposedly a commentary on the suppression of women and hypocritical expectations etc etc ….but it seems to be mostly a bunch of men who want to be with the mentally innocent yet physically adult woman and be the one to “educate” her

Ok the last 2 hours of Poor Things has completely changed my mind lol did not see it coming. I’ve bumped it up from a 3 star to a 4 star and would actually recommend it for anyone wanting to read a science fiction social commentary about feminism and how much men suck lol
