An Elegant Cat Fight

Rating: 4/10 (29 June 2019)

(Flash Review)
What does it take to be the right-hand to Queen Anne and attain a high social status? Worse yet, how low or to what degree will these two women stoop to maintain it to get into the 'favorite' spot? These women know no bounds and are truly despicable and devious. As Queen Anne's health deteriorates and her desires...'widen', the women tend to her every need. This is a very dark film. The two bratty woman manipulate, claw and scratch into Queen Anne's good graces. This was also much more frisky than anticipated and semi-surreal at times. Not sure I'm buying the fish eye lens shot choices. Unless it is intended to help to accentuate the surreal or absurd atmosphere of the film. I didn't realize this was from the same director as The Killing of a Sacred Deer and The Lobster both of which I enjoyed watching more and both were very strange and creative; although I felt this was less uniquely creative. It had bold, interesting and peculiar soundtrack moments. Overall, this was moderately intriguing from a creative angle yet I would not say I enjoyed my viewing.
