Wish I'd been able to see this film in a movie theatre. Big, brash, colorful production, right amount of humor, majestic performances by three actresses, The Favourite is my personal favorite of Yorgos Lanthimos' catalogue.
Set in the court of Queen Anne, you get a kind of crazy, sometimes funny, always human look at three women in the 18th century, navigating their own wants and needs in a world where women didn't usually hold the rudder.
You can read the transcript on the you're listening to radio revel blog, and, if you want, support me on Patreon.
Cheers!
