She was a character unlike anything I’ve ever played, or read or seen before.” “It was about unlearning things, rather than tapping into things form my past which was very beautiful and freeing,” said Stone who also produced the Searchlight title. Getting specific, Stone expounded, “The sort of societal things that you can grow up around: Judgement of your body, judgment of people, shame and other aspects of yourself.

I think this restarting from scratch, that was a very inspiring part of Bella.” Poor Things just cleared $14M at the domestic box office..
