The Favorite is a difficult movie to classify, but the easiest thing would be to say that it is a "tragi-comedy", a story in which bad things happen, horrible things, sad things, but all that is no reason not to laugh.

And Yorgos Lanthimos does not miss the opportunity to take a laugh, while showing us how a Queen in poor health loses connection with her lifelong confidant, and has a fight with her own feelings when a servant infiltrates her relationship to make some "changes". Olivia Colman, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz give us a triangle of "confidence" and three performances to remember. 88.
