Among historical biopics and blockbuster comedies, Yorgos Lanthimos' latest film, Poor Things, offers a completely unique origin story starring Emma Stone in a new interpretation of Frankenstein's creation. 2018's The Favourite ( The film, Lanthimos' follow-up to "The Favourite" and his second collaboration with Stone, is set in a surrealist version of Victorian London, where Bella Baxter (Stone), a woman with the brain of a child, lives with her father (Willem Dafoe), a mad scientist. When the independent-minded Bella decides to explore the world on her own, her adventures take her on a powerful journey of self-discovery that examines sex, gender, and social dynamics through a candid, harrowing, and sometimes terrifying lens.

The film is best viewed as uninformed as possible, but what audiences should expect is a surprisingly bizarre visual treat, with sets reminiscent of famous European cities and bold cinematography that shows the world through Bella's eyes. And Stone, as Bella, leads the film with a fearless and earnest performance. The film has already garnered a large number of devoted fans, and the awards buzz for Stone is enormous. Below is what we know now about when "Poor Things" will be available online.

"Poor Things" will be released in theaters nationwide on December 22, 2023, after which it will now only be shown in theaters. Searchlight Pictures will maintain this exclusive theatrical release for a few weeks until the film becomes available to rent or own digitally.

It has already been determined which streaming platform will host "Poor Things" going forward. Searchlight Pictures, which distributed the film, is owned by Walt Disney Studios, so the film will be available on Hulu some time after its theatrical release. Considering another indie release from the studio, last year's comedy "Theater Camp" (a must-see for former theater kids), its theatrical release was July 14, 2023, and it landed on Hulu just two months later, on September 14. With that in mind, "Poor Things" will make its streaming debut around the last week of February.
