Solid if mainstream film about power for Lanthimos

Rating: 7/10 (5 February 2019)

Surprised that Lanthimos did such a Barry Lyndon period piece. It is well-made and well-acted, and I liked the commentary on power. Whether it's a king or a queen, people will obviously do anything to be the favourite.
Although the middle-aged women in the theater behind me thought this movie was bizarre and had too much lesbian content, I found myself missing the stranger, spookier, more unsettling Lanthimos. This was too tame and Hollywood-polished for me.
