This dramatic story tells of France's war against England in the early 18th century, where things were more dangerous and influential. The story begins when Queen Anne embraces these deadly circumstances and her close friend, Sarah El Balad, rules in her place but continues to take her friend's advice in all things. Shortly after Anne took the throne, a new maid called Abigail arrives. Perhaps after Abigail's arrival, events change, with Sarah Abigail taking her wing and seeing Abigail as a new opportunity for aristocratic life.
An incredible infusion of modernity and Restoration-era Great Britain-a boisterous, farcical, and unapologetically inexplicable update on the royal British period piece.
There are no heroes in The Favourite; there are only sad creatures driven by their various needs. There is, however, a morbid morality to the proceedings, one in which decadence is its own punishment.
"The Favourite" is an uproarious send-up of the aloofness of royals, and comes alive thanks to its sterling ensemble cast (Nicholas Hoult is also worthy of note, playing a young British statesman) and Lanthimos' pristine direction.
The movie singlehandedly upends decades of unimaginative habits by British filmmakers who have generally treated history as well-behaved pageants with period-perfect costumes and lavish settings.
