If you didn't get to catch the Academy Award-nominated "Poor Things" when it premiered in theaters last year, you can now watch it from the comfort of your own home.

With 11 Oscars nominations, including best picture and best actress, the R-rated comedy directed by Yorgos Lanthimos is the second most-nominated film at this year's awards.

It is also one of the most divisive films of the past year thanks to its ample nudity and profanity.

If you want to see what all the fuss is about ahead of Sunday's Oscars, then Hulu is here to help.

The film is also available to rent and buy from VOD retailers such as Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play, and Vudu.

For those who prefer to own a disc version of the movie, "Poor Things" will be available on Blu-ray and DVD from March 12.

Based on the 1992 novel by Scottish writer Alasdair Gray, "Poor Things" sees Stone — who also coproduced the movie — play a "Frankenstein's monster"-esque creation known as Bella Baxter who was created by an experimental scientist (Willem Dafoe).

With the brain of an infant and the body of a grown woman, her uninhibited enthusiasm for new life experiences sees her run away from home with lawyer Duncan Wedderburn, played by Mark Ruffalo, on a globe-trotting, sex-filled adventure.

The film also stars Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott, Margaret Qualley, Hanna Schygulla, and Jerrod Carmichael.

On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an impressive 92% "Certified Fresh" critics' rating so far.
