Provocative director Yorgos Lanthimos brings us what many are saying is his most mainstream work yet -- "The Favourite." Make no mistake though, this movie is twisted, philosophically intriguing and, yes, provocative.

This is a deep, dangerous study of the problems with power and the relationships that revolve around powerful figures. It's masterfully directed and acted, featuring a brilliant screenplay with carefully constructed characters and what's easily the best central conceit in any movie I've seen this year.

It may not be for everyone, but it's certainly worth a watch.
