Anne (Olivia Colman) is many things: an emotionally unstable matriarch, a “crazy bunny lady,” and the Queen of England (and tantrums). Her flighty nature is only kept in check by her best friend and confidante, Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz). Their dynamic is tested when Lady Sarah’s cousin Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives at the palace in search for employment. A hesitant Sarah eventually recruits Abigail to join her as her chambermaid in what might be a deadly mistake, as a slow test to win the Queen’s affection begins to simmer. Behind Abigail’s doe eyes and vulnerable demeanor is a devious and emotionally savvy woman who is willing to do whatever it takes to replace Sarah as the Queen’s right-hand woman. Lanthimos relies on two of his previous leading ladies to take the helm here: Olivia Colman, who played The Lobster’s hotel manager; and Rachel Weisz, who played opposite Colin Farrell in the same film, have an incredible back and forth that is as quick-witted and sharp as a ping-pong match. Emma Stone, the only non-British actor, puts her impeccable comedic sensibilities on display in both her physical performance and over-exaggerated line delivery. It’s a trio of brilliant performances from Colman, Weisz and Stone only made stronger by the supporting cast that includes Nicholas Hoult as the aristocrat Harley and Joe Alwyn as Abigail’s royal suitor, Masham. Behind the lens, cinematographer Robbie Ryan uses unconventional camera techniques that at times reminded me of a music video. Most of the film is shot up from below -- a low angle that frames us looking up at the characters and suggests an imbalance in the hierarchy of this royalty compared to the non-elite class – the audience. Whip pans, dolly shots and a liberal use of the super wide-angle lens make the world of The Favourite feel like a fairytale, a world unique only to Yorgos Lanthimos (who also edited the film). Lanthimos has such a gifted way of creating fantastically surreal moments set in everyday life, whether it’s present day or 18th century England. Unlike his previous films, The Favourite is loosely based on historical fact, but maintains a modern tone and self-aware storytelling, like calling out Hoult’s over-the-top hair and makeup in a hilariously demeaning fashion. Although it doesn’t quite surpass my all-time favorite – The Lobster – there is so much to love in this macabre dark comedy and it is, without a doubt, another shining addition to Lanthimos’s film output. As Lady Sarah tells Queen Anne over and over again, “Love knows no limits” -- and true as those words are, there is no limit to my love for this film, making The Favourite one of my favorite movies of the year. The Favourite is rated R for strong sexual content, nudity and language. 119 minutes. Opening this Friday at ArcLight Hollywood and The Landmark. • Morgan Rojas. forced to live together? Would they be able to overcome hundreds of years of prejudice and learn to trust each other, work together and possibly even fall in love in order to stop the terrible fate awaiting both of their population? Talk about an action-packed book! From cover to cover, there is never a dull moment. I could not put this book down! I had to keep reading and find out more about this world and what fate awaited all of the characters. The story is classified as a fantasy, but there are also elements of mystery, adventure and romance that can be felt pretty strongly throughout the narrative. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to reading the next edition in the trilogy! I would highly recommend this series to teens and young adults alike.
