Should've cast Mia Goth instead of Emma Stone Female circumcision = BAD Male circumcision = TOTALLY FINE Soooooooo boring + an unnecessary crying baby Why wasn't Perry decapitated?? REAL asylum seekers! If your teenage nurse walks in wearing a form-fitting fuscia spandex uniform with hand-airbrushed black diamonds... It was all Franklin's fault that G.A.W. nearly ate shit Learns English as a second language at 12; has no Korean accent. Gina had no redeeming qualities.

I found him completely & utterly exhausting when he was "on" (which he unfortunately seemed obligated to be at all times). The only time I could truly stomach him was in his serious roles. 100% agree. I was SO looking forward to this movie because I really enjoyed the first one. Then it finally dropped and I couldn't get more than 10-15 minutes in without turning it off. It was just one fast-paced shot after the next with no discernible point or story going on and no pauses for the viewer to catch his/her breath. Just rapid-fire visual ASSAULT. I tried a number of times to come back and watch it only to have to turn it off again because of the frantic pacing. It's now been 7.5 months since I downloaded this movie and I just *FINALLY* today forced myself to finish it so that I can get it off my hard drive. I've never had a movie induce so much anxiety in me--and not because of the story. Awful. You can barely even take in any of the visuals because they're spit out at you so damn quickly and are gone just as quickly as they appeared. I'm exhausted. ...and then after ALL of that, they're gonna hit me with a "To Be Continued..."? Nah, brah. OH, okay! Well in that case--carry on mutilating infant males without their consent! I do apologize. Said like a true female. LOL and massive violent eye roll @ me "presenting myself as an expert." Anyway, I stand by my original post. What we saw in this movie was quite unlikely. You have a nice day. Some representation of the passage of time is just basic good storytelling. I never said anything about "impossible" or "100% of the time." You're the one talking in absolutes. Please go ahead and take up your other concerns with the linguistic experts. I'm just the messenger! "Absurd"? Not exactly. Science shows that accents generally become permanent by the age of 12. Maybe not 100% of the time, but it is the rule rather than the exception. Learning a second language as a child is not the same thing as learning a second language at 12+ years of age which was the age of the character in this movie. And actors aren't permanently altering their speech, they're merely putting it on long enough to get the take (and if you ask a native speaker of whatever language the actor is mimicking, they'll often tell you that the actor isn't necessarily nailing it). https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/accents-are-forever-35886605/ There's a documentary called The Imposter which is excellent and also goes into this subject. Seriously? Why even read posts on here about movies prior to having watched said movies? This entire website is essentially nothing but spoilers. Hell no, Mia nailed Pearl! That's the character that made me think she'd be a better fit for Bella. The part of Bella had Mia's name written all over it for me. While watching Poor Things I could never really get lost in her character because I was always aware that I was watching Emma Stone. View all replies >
