| Topic | Presenting: The SephG Top 250 [movies] |
| Nelson_Mandela 06/11/19 9:49:41 PM #327: | #109. The Favourite https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cc/The_Favourite.png Dir: Yorgos Lanthimos Genre: Drama, Comedy Year: 2018 And we get to the most recent film in my top 250 and my favorite (lol) one of last year! The Favourite is Lanthimos's most accessible film, but it definitely retains his trademark weirdness. Nothing gave me more delight than watching this in a theater full of old people who thought they were going to see a typical Oscar nominated period piece about British royalty, only to have to sit through a bizarre dark comedy featuring some of the funniest anachronisms ever put to film. But what was even greater than Lanthimos's directing was Olivia Coleman's (or Sophie as I will call her for eternity) performance. She completely steals the show here as the cake-eating, rabbit-breeding, krazy Queen Anne and she gives probably the best lead female role of the decade. I highly recommend checking this one out even if you're not a fan of weird movies just for her alone. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
