When everyone wants power...

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2019)

It had a bit of a slow start and I wasn't a huge fan of some of the "creative" camera work (fish eye lens??). BUT, then once the story got underway, it was very good. The rivalry between the Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone characters as they vied for the Queen's attention and ultimately the security she could provide them was very entertaining. It was also sort of dark and sad and twisted. And just when you found yourself rooting for one woman, you changed your mind and felt for the other woman. It's a story that shows throughout several story threads what a dark world it can be when everyone is trying to gain power. The performance by Emma Coleman as the queen was fantastic. The ending left me feeling a little letdown, but ultimately it also felt like a fitting ending in some ways.
