Yorgos Lanthimos adapted the book into a surreal visual feast, but the result is still a man telling a woman\u2019s story of\xa0empowerment. Does it still work? In episode 302, Laura from the \u201cWhy the Book Wins\u201d YouTube channel joins Luke & James to talk about the changes from Alasdair Gray\u2019s book, Emma Stone\u2019s Oscar-worthy performance, and how altering the ending influences the story\u2019s final message. Then they each cast their vote on which was better: the book or the movie!
