The Favourite is a glorious, grotesque
romp of a film, anarchic and darkly funny with a monumental central
performance from Oliva Coleman as Queen Anne, who's grief stricken
madness gives the film a deep, sad human heart beneath all the
absurdity.
Yorgos Lathimos breathes new life into the period drama by giving it a modern vibe not dissimilar to Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette (2006). DOP Robbie Ryan's unorthodox use of fish-eye lenses is a masterstroke and Coleman, along with co-stars Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone deserve all the awards coming their way.
