The Favourite is my favourite

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2019)

Let me begin by saying that this is the best film of the year. The Favourite is simply exquisite, mischievous and irreverent. I've followed Yorgos Lanthimos since The Lobster, and with this film he has proven to be one of the most original filmmakers today.
Everything about The Favourite is perfect. Since I saw the trailer, it was love at first sight. The acting ensemble is absolutely phenomenal. I refer not only to the trio of ladies, but also to Nicholas Hoult. I would nominate them all for their performances. However, the Oscar belongs to Olivia Colman. Her performance has to be one of the best I've seen in recent years.
The Favorite is a true masterpiece because it's unique, eccentric and politically incorrect. In my opinion, it's art in one of its most rare forms. I would easily give this film over 10 Academy Award nominations, with a total of 5 definite wins for Best Motion Picture, Best Director, Best Leading Actress (Colman), Original Screenplay and Production Design.
Nevertheless, I doubt The Favourite will win the Oscar for Best Picture as Green Book and Roma have swept most award shows. Regardless, The Favourite will stand the test of time as the cult film it is. The Favourite is one of the best examples why the seventh art is still alive.
Score: 10/10
