The Favourite

I actually enjoyed it, though I tend to enjoy whatever Olivia Colman is in. It shows a part od history that I was really aware of until I watched this film and did some research. As a woman that's part of the LGBTQ+ community and is a Bisexual, I like to see these types of things represented in films. Not to mention, the cast did an excellent job portraying these characters. I believe Olivia did a wonderful job with showing us just how hurt Queen Anne was. Having 17 children that were still births, or lived for just a little bit could not be easy on anyone so I can understand why Anne would act in such ways. She was broken, emotionally, mentally, and later on in life physically with gout, and what I'm assuming to be a stroke. Though, I am no historian so I could be wrong. I've read some people in this films comments that it was not a comedy. Maybe my humor is broken, but I found parts of this film to be very funny. A movie doesn't just have to be one thing. It can be a comedy, and a drama at the same time. While it made me root for what I thought was the "hero" of this story it also got me laughing at a rabbit birthday party. I thought this movie was great and I plan on buying it very soon.

This has been one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. I'm surprised Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone even took a part in this. Even if Olivia's (Queen Anne) had been played by Helen Mirren or Judi Dench, I'm not sure it would have been any better. I do feel it was a waste of money and 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. My gut instinct was to watch Mary Queen of Scots, and now I know, that's what I should have picked. It could t be worse than this one.

I had much higher expectations for this movie based off of the cast, ratings, theme, and positive reviews. I didn't even mind purchasing it, because I suspected I'd at least LIKE it. Oh, how wrong I was. I found the plot disappointingly dull and boring. The climax was anticlimactic. The music & background sounds annoyed me at times. How unfortunate. This movie could've been remarkable, for the story had potential; but the execution & delivery were a flop imo. I'd wait for this one on Netflix.
