Three strikes

Rating: 2/10 (9 March 2019)

This is the 3rd movie directed by Lanthimos that I have seen. The other 2, The Lobster, and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, were both big disappointments, because neither made any sense to me. I kept wondering, Why doesn't he, Why don't they. The stories seemed implausible.
I have a hard time with stories that do not make me suspend disbelief.
It does not take away from the director's competence, but I doubt, after seeing The Favourite that I will ever see another of Lanthimos' projects.
The ending of this film could have tied up this story emotionally: this is the reward of unscrupulous ambition. But, I kept wondering, Is this it?
Maybe it was the music. Music can give substance to our emotions.
