Review of The Favourite (2018) by Michael O — 23 Nov 2018
There are three compelling reasons to see this - Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, and Emma Stone. They go full force into this 18th-century world. Its a wickedly ridiculous and dirty dark comedy that only Yorgos Lanthimos could make with a brilliant whip-smart script by Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara.
Weisz vs Stone is a master class in acting, and Colman holds the Crown. Showcasing just how devoted one is for love (or power) but if it is truly worth the cost. If you didn't like The Lobster or The Killing of a Sacred Deer, you may not like this movie.
While it is Yorgos' most commercial movie yet, it is still very much his style. The more that I think about this movie, the more that I love it and it will be everywhere this award season.
