Review of The Favourite (2018) by Lamontraymond — 23 Nov 2018
Easily one of the best films of 2018. The three leads are incredibly good, with Rachel Weisz leading the way. I've always loved Olivia Colman, and she's fantastic as the insecure, gluttonous Queen Anne.
Emma Stone is really good, but the movie takes a bit of a turn (along with her performance) about 2/3 of the way through. I have to mention the director and the DP - the film is shot absolutely beautifully, and the score is innovative / perfectly pitched.
A word of caution: if you're easily offended, you might want to steer clear. It's not a movie of its time. But it is uproariously funny at times - great writing.
