The Favourite
Description
When France fought that cruel war against England in the early 18th century, things went wrong. The drama began when Queen Anne embraced the throne in strong circumstances, but her close friend, Sarah El Balad, ruled her instead, though she still took Anne's advice in everything. Things take a curious and mysterious turn when a new server arrives called Abigail. Abigail sees the Queen's Palace as a powerful opportunity to return to the old aristocratic life.

Olivia Colman, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz all deliver career-best performances in this quirky look back at the politics of yesteryear...

It is Colman who steals the film from everyone - Lanthimos included.

There are no heroes in The Favourite; there are only sad creatures driven by their various needs. There is, however, a morbid morality to the proceedings, one in which decadence is its own punishment.

The Favourite [is Yorgos Lanthimos'] most conventional but equally venomous film. [Full review in Spanish]
February 27, 2019
Colman's performance as Queen Anne is worthy of Charles Laughton in its lack of vanity and its ever-building pathos.
February 27, 2019
The movie singlehandedly upends decades of unimaginative habits by British filmmakers who have generally treated history as well-behaved pageants with period-perfect costumes and lavish settings.
December 21, 2018
As well as being [Lanthimos'] biggest production so far, this is by far his most pleasurable, with three Oscar-worthy performances.

In the end, The Favourite is a haunting reminder of the limits of control.

Despite its period setting, The Favourite just might be Lanthimos's most trenchant and relevant work yet.
December 13, 2018
"The Favourite" is an uproarious send-up of the aloofness of royals, and comes alive thanks to its sterling ensemble cast (Nicholas Hoult is also worthy of note, playing a young British statesman) and Lanthimos' pristine direction.
January 24, 2019
Weisz and Stone are both brilliantly witty and nimble, but Colman's performance is nothing short of sublime.
February 27, 2019
An incredible infusion of modernity and Restoration-era Great Britain-a boisterous, farcical, and unapologetically inexplicable update on the royal British period piece.
