Emma Stone, the lead star of the Oscar-nominated film Poor Things, has responded to accusations that the film is “sexist” and “exploitative”, and that its sex scenes present “troubling” consent issues.
Stone said that criticising Poor Things is the result of how people consume films these days and cast judgment on social media.
If you start to analyse the film as something that would actually happen, then of course the film doesn’t work.”
That can happen in a relationship with film, too, especially a film like this, that’s asking more questions than giving answers.”
