“Don’t You Lie for a Living?”: Margot Robbie, Emma Stone and THR’s Actress Roundtable

“Every Day I Was Like, ‘What Am I Doing?’”: The Making of ‘Poor Things’
In a scene early in the movie Poor Things, Emma Stone gleefully flings some kippers across a dining table at Ramy Youssef’s face. It’s a weird and important moment, one in which Stone is establishing her character as a childlike Victorian woman, someone oblivious to social mores and free of shame. Stone and her director, […]
