Not too bad

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2019)

The Favourite has been getting a lot of buzz. It was overall unique and a different take on historical events. The humour is done very well and works naturally. The performances are very good and believable, this is a strong cast. The story and plot and what is illustrated should receive mixed reviews. Politics and power struggles is a great theme but this was a bit sloppy to follow on screen. This film is a dramedy but the drama aspect was a bit weak and lacking. A good dramedy has a good mix of comedy and drama. There was a lack of flow for the plot and drama, one could get the basic gist but so much was not explained or left out it felt disjointed and all over the place. For e.g. even a short text on the screen to set the tone or setting could have worked. That way we take the time/setting seriously but with a twist. This is a fine film but I do not think it deserves the hype it has got.
