Poor Creatures is, without a doubt, one of the titles of the season. He has just won the Golden Lion in Venice, the Golden Globe for best comedy and will be the protagonist of the next Oscars. Emma Stone, her protagonist, shines in the company of Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo and the Greek Giorgos Lanthimos, her director, returns in style after The Favourite.
However. There is a scene that had to be re-edited for the film to be released in the UK. It caused a sensation in the British Board of Film Classification charts.
But to understand why they had to cut it, you have to know what the movie is about.
In Poor Creatures, play Stone Bella Baxter, a young woman revived by Dr. Godwin Baxter (Dafoe). Because Bella’s life starts from scratch, even though she looks like an adult, her brain is similar to that of a child.
The moment that needed to be re-edited involves a sex scene in which two young men watch Bella work as a prostitute after her father hires her to teach them both how to have sex.
Poor Creatures was ranked 18 in the UK after the production changed that scene.

“We initially watched this film for advice. We informed the distributor that we were likely to rate the film 18 provided changes were made to a short sequence depicting sexual activity in the presence of children,” the British Board of Film Classification said .
“This complies with the Protection of Children Act 1978. When the distributor submitted the film for formal classification, the scene had been re-edited and we were able to classify the film as an 18,” they added.
Lanthimos told Variety that “some people find it too much in terms of Bella’s freedom with sexuality. “The setting itself — a grown woman with the brain of a child — people didn’t know how to respond to her.”
