At least, on his previous movies, Lanthimos was bad.

Rating: 5/10 (17 December 2019)

Let's review Lanthimo's career so far:
* Dogtooth: A story of a totally disfunctional family, ok, not bad at all.
* Lobster: A story based on a totally illogical thing that never gets explained, in order to show to the audience, the real nature of relations. Ok, I can bite that too.
* The killing of the sacret deer: A story also based on a totally illogical thing that never gets explained, in order to create a parallelism (?) to a ancient Greek Tragedy. I've eaten before the same food!
* The Favorite: A boring movie.
I can't stop thinking that the ONLY new thing the movie can bring on a hill of previous movies, is:

Freaking scratching of violins or whatever is this terrible sound, Lanthimos wants to put on all of his movies.

Wide lens experimentation like he's a 19y old art-school student on a project.

The story is very similar to dozen of other stories, photography is good, acting is very good, but boring pace, irritating sound and no meaning, makes this movie, idk, boring? At least there's not a supernatural rule or ability on it. So I'm guessing, after 5-6 movies, Lanthimos will stop using violins and he will get bored using all of his lens. Who knows, he may even steal time from self-admiration and use his powers to write and direct a decent interesting movie!
