Director Yorgos Lanthimos' "Poor Things" is earning rave reviews, and the film is building a lot of awards buzz following its Golden Globes nominations. But while fans and critics have been enamored by the raunchy fantasy's bizarre sensibilities and over-the-top qualities, the sex scenes have caused controversy and raised some questions about agency.
Based on Alasdair Gray's book of the same name, "Poor Things" follows Bella Baxter (Emma Stone), a woman who's brought back to life by a scientist, Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). The twist, though, is that she's resurrected with the brain of the unborn child she carried before she died - and that caused a massive controversy.
