Another great work by Lanthimos

Rating: 8/10 (31 July 2019)

While the movie beautifully pictures the atmosphere in the England palace at 18th centuries, it also makes you think about certain things like passion, love and intrigue. Yorgos Lanthimos is one of the best directors in the modern era but unlike his other films, he steps into a different area this time. Under the pressure of directing an historical movie for the first time, he tries to be as accurate as possible and in that regard, I would say he is successful.
There are some scenes that you can relate with the directing style of Lanthimos which criticize the palace's unnecessary exaggeration. In addition, Lanthimos refers to the aspects of human behaviour, which he is also known for, and makes the viewer realize it naturally, rather than forcefully.
Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone brings together a realistic trio of brilliance which earned every single one of them an Oscar nomination. This is also a thing to consider while reviewing this title, and it can only be a positive thing, obviously.
The general decoration, make-up and hairstyling is flawless. For the soundtrack, only classical music is used, so it may disturb the ones who are not familiar with it or the ones who dislike it. Other than that, there is no reason to think that this movie is bad. General consensus of the humankind is not trying to be 'grey' sometimes, but only choosing to be 'black' or 'white'. That is the only reason these movies are getting unfairly downgraded. I would recommend not to behave like this, nor listen to those who behave, as it kills all the joy you would get from any kind of entertainment.
8/10.
