Loved this movie and agree with your take. It reconciles childlike wonder with the scientific method and has a blast doing it!

[@shasoreads]

I loved it too. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DOOF1]

it felt like halfway through the genius writer died and was replaced with a third grader who had only read books written in the past 5 years their whole life

[@shasoreads]

You mean the second part of Poor Things wasn't as deep?
I've also heard that from others.

[@DOOF1]

@@shasoreads it turned from super interesting i was taking notes and pausing every once in a while to make theories to oh... its another one of these... yeah i guess you're right... okay....

[@shasoreads]

I get what you say. I liked the second part too, but not as much as the first part.
