THERE’S one thing you need to know about Poor Things. It’s laugh-out-loud funny. Or at least that was certainly the reaction of a packed Glasgow Film Theatre for a special preview screening of the new adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s 1992 work.

Growing tired of life inside her “father God's" house, Bella chooses to run off with Duncan Wedderburn , despite her engagement to Max McCandles to explore the world and her newfound sexuality. Stone in particular puts in a stunning performance as Bella, perfectly capturing her childlike mannerisms with her movement as much as her lines.

And, crucially, his Scottish accent isn’t half bad either despite being an ask which seems to have cursed many an actor down the years. Coming in at just under two and a half hours, admittedly nothing out of the ordinary for modern cinema, the film never feels like it drags. And they’ll be happy to hear that the end result is a playful, bonkers tribute to one of Glasgow's, and indeed Scotland’s, greatest creatives.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
