“Poor Things,” a masterpiece directed by Yorgos Lantimos and released Dec. 8, is inspired by the Alasdair Gray novel of the same name and is one of the most funky, refreshing movies to be made this decade. In an era of continuous biopics and stereotypically “relatable” characters taking center stage, witnessing a story full of characters that audiences can understand and resonate with is inspiring and monotony-breaking. 

The MCU is often criticized for sticking to the same formula. The latest addition to the series stands apart because it tries to stand apart.

Directed by Bennett Miller, "Foxcatcher" stars Steve Carell as paranoid billionaire John du Pont and Channing Tatum as world-class wrestler Mark Schultz in a psychologically thrilling drama.
