Of my many projects, one of the least likely to ever see light of day, is a chronological History of the World compiled from feature films. If it does, however, The War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714) just ensured a prominent entry with The Favourite.
Constantly entertaining & incredible production. Centred completely on the drama between the three people in the poster so the story absolutely does not appeal to me personally but it was handled in a way that i felt like i was at the circus, letting me maintain an emotional distance from who they were as human beings, and not requiring me to particularly like any of them (except Horatio).
I laughed out loud in the theater. This ensemble cast brought an amazing script to life!
Good story about the eternal power struggle among people. One sided, with only elite class visible in the movie.
The picture, the outfits, the lovely British accent, the astonishing performance of the three ladies was jaw dropping. even if the story wasn't that much of glory.
It's bad enough that it was terribly historically inaccurate but awful as well.
The script for this star-studded period comedy-drama has been in circulation since the late 90s and has finally been greenlit with writers Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara and Director Yorgos Lanthimos. The setting is early 18th Century England (filmed at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire!
Interesting story but seemed out in left field. Not sure of the point of the movie.
This movie had some promise. It was different and intriguing and could have been something but turned into much ado about nothing really.
