[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought it was very clearly written by a man with a fetish. Who else would create a story about a woman’s brain being replaced by a toddler and their first cognitive experiences being sexual awakenings? [/quote]

I'm curious about the book which I understand is clearly a satire of Frankenstein, and also is told from both the doctor's point of view, and then Ella's.

I didn't feel this came through in the movie really and found it kind of stupid. I am really surprised Emma Stone (who I generally like) won an Oscar for this. It felt approximately on the level of a protracted Family Guy episode.[/quote]

Pp here- felt the same. I really like Emma stone but I just felt uncomfortable watching this movie and couldn’t get through it. It’s not the sex. It was the idea of glorifying taking sexual advantage of someone who is cognitively a young child. As I said, it felt like a man’s fantasy and not something that would be imagined from a woman’s perspective. [/quote]
