Pointless, pretentious, & painful

Rating: 3/10 (26 February 2019)

The title of my review says it all. Perhaps I'm not the target audience for this film but I am baffled at how this could be nominated for Best Picture. I mean what is this movie even about? A sickly, homely queen having lesbian sexual relationships with her weird chamber maids? That's about it, and it's stretched into a painful 2 hours. My theory is that 2018 was a weak year in film. This film, Blackkklansman, Black Panther, Roma, & Vice were all filler nominees for Best Picture. There were only a few worthy candidates, and The Favourite couldn't possibly be considered for the award in a better year for movies.
