Very odd

Rating: 6/10 (4 January 2019)

Like Lanthimos's The Lobster, this movie is a strange, surreal but strangely enjoyable romp. Bits of it are funny, bits are accurate, bits hang together and others just don't. It's almost worth watching for the costumes alone and the cast are all superb but it certainly won't be for everyone. It's not really a comedy, it's not really a biography and it doesn't really have an ending. It's weird: if you liked The Death of Stalin, you'll probably like this.
Olivia Coleman is wonderful as the queen with a performance that deserves all the accolades, the movie overall not so satisfying but worth a watch nevertheless.
