Review of The Favourite (2018) by Joanie K — 20 Jan 2019

First; I normally don't write any reviews on here, but I felt like this movie deserved it.

The Favourite. It might not be your cup of tea, and that's why I understand some of the low ratings, but come on? It wasn't bad at all and if you love history, costumes, dark comedy and a little fun, this movie really is amazing, as it was for me. I was blown away by the performances of Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz, I think both deserve Oscar nominations. Not to discredit Emma Stone, she did well, but her character was just very annoying and I couldn't quite connect with her as the others.

As for the story; it developed quite well. At the start I was a little confused, I didn't know what to expect. But as it developed; it just got better. The ending felt weird, but for some reason, I liked it. It left my mind to actually think about my own ending and I gave it a happy twist. I loved the costumes, loved the wide shots, loved the script, it was all done so well.

Only negative thing might be some of the background music which sounded very annoying as it lasted some minutes, wouldn't recommend anyone who's distracted or oversensitive to sounds to put your sound all too loud.

Overall I loved The Favourite and since I want to compromise for the low ratings I'm giving it a 5/5. Thank you for this movie.
