Could Be Any Old Lesbian

Rating: Null/10 (14 March 2019)

The Favourite is a lot of fun to watch. It has just the right blend of comedy, tension, and sadness. The performances are stellar, without question. Definitely worth watching. Just remember to overlook a few things: it has very little to do with the Queen of England. In other words, in the end, this could be a movie about any rich old lesbian who never really feels sure about the "love" given her by any young beautiful girl. Another thing that bothers me is that too much of the movie takes place in the queen's bedroom, giving the whole production a kind of stage-play feel. And since it feels like a stage-play, you expect sharper, more sparkling dialogue which, for the most part, is missing largely here. Good movie. But nothing to take away.
