What Time Period Poor Things Takes Place In (& Why It's Confusing)
Poor Things time period is confusing due to the film's vibrant tone and unique storytelling, making it difficult to nail down when it takes place.
Poor Things' time period is distorted by confusing and vibrant storytelling, giving it a unique tone. Based on the novel of the same name by Alasdair Gray, Poor Things tells the story of Bella (Emma Stone), a young woman who has been brought back to life by Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe) in a similar way to Frankenstein's monster in the classic horror film. Baxter gave her the mind of a child and the story chronicles Bella's developing intellect and autonomy as she explores the world around her.
