Unfunny comedy feat. ridiculous drama

Rating: 1/10 (25 April 2019)

This was so disappointing. I love these actresses, especially Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz. The film mocks a deeply complex and traumatized ruler like Queen Anne by making her an one-dimensional disgusting slob. The screenplayers fill in the gaps in historical records with only the worst humanity can possibly offer. There are no noble feelings, no significant wish to transcend filth and corruption, which is very historically inaccurate. The characterization is very poor too, very reminiscent of a bad Latin American social film. I was surprised to read that this "rotten" film was nominated for several awards. It was enormously overrated. This speaks volumes of how distorted our awards have become. The Favorite is almost worse than Mary Queen of Scots. In the end, the characters are so corrupt, filthy and disgusting that you stop caring about them. You wish they die as soon as possible so that this pointless film ends. And, boy, the ending is so uncreative...
