The POOR THINGS team of Emma Stone (Academy Award winner, Best Actress) and director Yorgos Lanthimos (Academy Award nominee, Best Director) return for a triptych fable, following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader. Also starring Jesse Plemons and Willem Dafoe.

“Another humane, odd and highly accomplished Yorgos Lanthimos film, one that sees him returning to the tone of his earlier work after The Favourite and Poor Things.” -Empire Magazine
“Stone may get all the attention but with his sandy, anonymous mustache and eyes fixed on the middle distance, Plemons is the movie’s anxious soul.” -Washington Post
“The audacity of the project carries the day, and a cast once again bringing their A-game for a director who knows how to work with ensembles.” -Rogerebert.com
