Review of The Favourite (2018) by Gareth L — 20 Jan 2019

This is seriously the worst film I have ever seen at the cinema! Create a costume drama which is historically inaccurate, add a liberal amount of unnecessary sex and nudity plus liberal use of the 'f' and 'c' words, not forgetting the occasional bit of vomiting, but pay little attention to the story line and what do you get? A film that appeals greatly to the pretentious wierdos that inhabit the art world but little to anyone who simply enjoys a good movie.

This is advertised as a comedy but the only laughs I heard were from people who were leaving the cinema who couldn't believe how such an unbelievably bad movie could get such high ratings from some of the film critics! From now on I will spend more attention to audience reviews and less to the 'professional' art critics whom, it would appear, need to spend more time with their psychiatrists!
