Review of The Favourite (2018) by Jluis_001 — 07 Jan 2019
Great staging, really good performances, outstanding direction, demolishing music. Overall a beautiful production and yet incredibly hollow.
The narrative is insipid and somewhat uninspired. The humor is weak. Something incredible coming from Lanthimos because even in the darkness of The Killing of a Sacred Deer you could notice all the nuances. Here it's not very functional and to some degree disappointing.
It's a parody and a farce that fails at important moments and despite my high expectations and how much I expected this film and how much I expected to love it, the truth is that I ended up bitterly disenchanted, disappointed and dissatisfied.
