Review of The Favourite (2018) by Derek M — 05 Jan 2019

If you like period pieces with adult themes, you'll enjoy this movie; however, this movie isn't as witty as it portends to be. There are funny moment, especially when Nicholas Hoult is on screen, but this is really more of a tragedy masquerading as a dark comedy. Also, the pacing of this film is also a bit slow in points and halfway through the fourth act you'll begin to wonder where this movie is going. Lastly, the artsy ending will confuse you. It took me until the next morning finally get the aim of the ending.

Bottom line: It's a humorous, intelligent dark film which will make you rethink the value of your current friendships.
