Neither grand nor regal at all!

Rating: 1/10 (21 February 2019)

10 Oscar nominations, British 18th century, the story about a queen, good actors, drama/comedy/biography. What could possibly go wrong? Apparently a lot.
I thought it would be a grand and regal British tale, with the sort of romance and daily struggles we've seen many times before. It was not.
This a story of jealousy and drama between three lesbians; two manipulative narcissists, plus a weak and broken one with the mental capacity and humor of a 10 year old. The latter being the queen. There were nothing grand or regal in this movie whatsoever.
The Favourite doesn't have a single sympathetic character in it. Nor does it care to share any historical details for those interested in history. The soundtrack is a horror - I wished for it to go away and leave me alone several times. The storyline was completely lacking, nothing actually happened, and no good story was told.
I honestly have no idea how anyone could rate this as a great movie.. People are weird, as was this movie.
