Emma Stone's (now Golden Globe-winning) performance as Bella Baxter in Poor Things is, perhaps, her most physical performance to date.
Bella is a Frankenstein's monster of sorts, the corpse of a woman reanimated using the brain of her unborn child by an unconventional scientist Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe), so when we first meet her she's still learning how to navigate her new body. She walks with jerking strides, dances with childlike glee, and eats messily, taking on the world with the wide-eyed fascination of an infant.
