One of My Personal Favourite Films this Year

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2019)

This is a fantastic movie. It might be my favourite of the year, but I'd have to watch it once more to be sure. It's certainly one of the most meticulously crafted films of the year, and undeniably one of the most entertaining.
As far as tone, this movie was no different from Lanthimos's other films: the script and story were viciously written and executed, the performances were utterly captivating, and the world itself was exquisitely imagined. The characters we get to know are indeed based on real people, though, I admit my knowledge of the history of this time period is vague. Do not look to me on questions of its accuracy; I've read a touch from wiki just now to brush up a bit, but I couldn't give you history lesson. What I can tell you is that this film is remarkably entertaining and venomously devious. It's like reading Jane Austen and Oscar Wilde, only with a pinch of deadly nightshade sprinkled in.
