An aquired taste...

Rating: 7/10 (18 January 2019)

... but Lanthimos has always been so. The Favourite will be appealing for those who can appreciate his abstract sense of humor, film snobbs and film critics - not the mainstream audience. The actors are an appealing bunch, dressed beautifully but swearing like sailors. There are a few good chuckles to be had, no more, and the movie is a tad bit too long.
So, if you know what you are getting into or if you love arthouse movies, by all means see it. If you are more of a "Pride and Prejudice" type of person, this is not for you.
