According to a synopsis, "Poor Things" follows "the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter's protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation."

Other cast members, including Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Margaret Qualley and Kathryn Hunter, joined Stone and Ruffalo at the premiere. Screenwriter Tony McNamara was also photographed with Lanthimos.

The film premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Festival in September, winning the Golden Lion, and premieres in U.S. theaters on Dec. 8.
