You can now enjoy Bella Baxter’s whimsical, sex-fueled adventures– for which Emma Stone won the Oscar on Sunday night — from the comfort of your own home.
Yorgos Lanthimos’s Oscar-winning “Poor Things,” which hit theaters in December, is now available purchase/rent on Prime Video and Apple TV+, and will release on Blu-ray/DVD on March 12.
The film is a story of “love, discovery and scientific daring” set in the Victorian era, based on an adaptation of Alasdair Grey’s novel of the same name. It stars Emma Stone as Bella, a Frankenstein-like woman who is brought back to life after her brain is replaced with that of her unborn child. Stone stars opposite Willem Dafoe, who plays the brilliant, yet unorthodox, scientist who resurrects Belle from the dead.

The digital and physical versions feature hours of bonus content, including a featurette with Stone, Lanthimos and the rest of the cast and crew as they take viewers behind the scenes of making the fantastical film. The short film explores the costumes, makeup and prosthetics, in addition to intimate tours of of the film’s many intricately designed sets. Also included in the upcoming releases are a slate of deleted scenes, titled “Brothel’s Doctor,” “Alfie’s Chapter” and “Bella’s Notebook.”
“Poor Things” was the second-most nominated film going into the 2024 Oscars, boasting 11 nods including for best picture and actress in a leading role for Stone.
“The other night, I was panicking, as you can kind of see, happens a lot — that maybe something like this could happen and Yorgos [Lanthimos] said to me, please take yourself out of it,” Stone said in her acceptance speech. “And he was right, because it’s not about me. It’s about a team that came together to make something greater than the sum of its parts.”
In his review of the film, Variety film critic Guy Lodge wrote that “Lanthimos serves up a macabre sensory banquet miles from his former Greek weird-wave ascetism, but just as subversive.”
