Review of The Favourite (2018) by Agrlhsnousrname — 02 Jan 2019
The Favourite is a movie that reminds one why the movies are a magical place. The Favourite brings the art of acting and filmography back to the cinemas. The Favourite puts a humorous spin on a classic like a historical drama with a healthy dose of refreshing comedy.
The Favourite breaks tradition from other movies that focus on over the top humor. The movie is riddled with well planned wit and subtle satire. Although it’s safe to assume every director, producer and actor wants the movie to do well and make money, it seems The Favourite’s biggest motivation is going back to the roots of cinema and focusing on the art of the craft rather than the profits or dominating the box office.
It’s a movie made for the sake of reminding the audience and crew alike what cinema is really all about. Although The Favourite is a pleasure to watch, it is slow moving and lacks a clear plot line.
For anyone seeking a ‘Die Hard’ like flick, seek elsewhere. For everyone else, enjoy a movie that reminds movie lovers why we are movie lovers in the first place.
