At the 80th Venice International Film Festival, Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things, a fantastical feminist fable with Emma Stone as a woman reanimated by a Victorian scientist (Willem Dafoe) in the style of Frankenstein, won the Golden Lion for best film.
The movie was well-received by critics at the Hollywood Reporter. Emma Stone's performance as Isabella Baxter, a woman who struggles to comprehend the stifling patriarchy of the world around her before attempting to dismantle it, has the potential to change her career.
In his acknowledgment discourse, Lanthimos said it required a long investment to make the film, his first starting around 2018 Oscar champ The Number one, "until the world, until our industry, was prepared for this film." He singled out Stone for acclaim.
The most important aspect of this film is Isabella Baxter, an incredible creature whose existence would not be possible without Emma Stone, another incredible creature. This film is her, in front and behind the camera

The youthful entertainer separated in tears prior to stammering out his expressions of gratitude to the Venice jury.
Cailee Spaeny won best entertainer for her depiction of Priscilla Presley in Sofia Coppola's Priscilla, while Peter Sarsgaard won best entertainer for Michel Franco's Memory, playing a man experiencing dementia. He addressed the strikes in his speech.
Sarsgaard stated, "The issue that really struck a chord with me is AI. I think we can all really agree that an actor is a person and that a writer is a person but apparently we can't," cautioning against relaying stories about connections to "the machines and the 8 billionaires that own them." He pleaded with the AMPTP's "humanity" to ensure that "their own children's future hums with the hive of humanity."
