Off putting bunch but people like that are around today

Rating: 4/10 (31 January 2019)

This modern take on the favourite ladies of Queen Anne is a part of history not often shown and this movie is partly fictionalised. I guess they didn't want to do a BBC type movie so they added lots of profanity some nudity and modern dialog. Sometimes it makes things lively but often it was jarring just like the classical music mixed with some droning rubbish sounds. The theme of favourites jousting for the affections of the queen is oddly still relevant - there are actually people I known who behave like this today.
Rachel Weisz is a little out of place in her look. Emma actually looks less out of place. Olivia acts sick quite well but it's not a best actress worthy performance. Nicholas Hoult is quite appropriate.
The on location filming in Hatfield House is atmospheric.
Ok for one watch.
