In the entrancing Yorgos Lanthimos comedy Poor Things, Oscar winner Emma Stone plays a brilliant baby. Anyway, that’s the simplest way of describing the Oscar-nominated actress’s star turn as Bella Baxter, a Frankenstein-like fusion of an infant’s fast-growing brain and a grown woman’s body, who ventures out into a technicolor version of Victorian England in order to assert her intellectual and sexual independence. As she maneuvers her way across oceans (and through multiple suitors), she’s confronted with the harshness of human reality—and the beauty inside her own mind. Poor Things is a bizarre, singular work by a singular filmmaker, so it’s not exactly surprising that the movie’s scooped up multiple awards, including a Best Actress win for Stone.

As Stone put it in her Globe acceptance speech, “I think [Poor Things] is a rom-com, but in the sense of Bella falls in love with life itself. She accepts the good and the bad in equal measure and that really made me look at life differently.” No guarantees you’ll experience similar enlightenment, but if you’re hoping to catch a viewing of Poor Things after the Oscars, here’s how to watch.

Where can I watch Poor Things?

Poor Things is currently available to rent or purchase on platforms including Prime Video, Apple TV, and YouTube.

Due to the film’s Searchlight Pictures studio distributer, it’s also available to stream as part of a subscription to Hulu. (Since both are owned by the Walt Disney Company, you can thank the House of Mouse for the bundling.) The film began streaming on Thursday, March 7, just three days ahead of the Academy Awards. Bella might lack an adult’s years of experience, but she knows how to show up right on time.
