"Poor Things" (2023), Yorgos Lanthimos

 A feminist (and misandrist) mishmash of Frankenstein, My Fair Lady and Edward Sissorhands, this excellent outing by the otherwise cold Lanthimos is enchanting but morally dubious. The Paddington esthetic is saddled with unnecessary fish-eye lenses and sudden zooms, but the award-worthy performance by Emma Stone overcomes any directorial dictatorial flourishes. A must see, and clear candidate for the best movie of the year.
