One is likely to love or to hate this film. It is everything that we don't expect a film to be, which is just what a black comedy should be. The plot line is often pure fantasy, but the essence of Queen Ann and her court is vividly accurate, from the hideous costumes and social manners - crude, cartoonish, petty, narcissistic, a true forerunner of the age of Trump. The acting by all involved is super; even when it seems, at first glance to be too broad, too shallow, which is misleading as this is what allows us to get below the surface of these three women and see the soulless nature of two of them and the sense of being out of time for the third. With all magnificent films, and this one surely is, we laugh at pitiful attempts to achieve an admirable goal, here, love, doomed to fail by the faults within their natures, which is tragic.
But this achievements is rare in today's films. Orson Welles .achieved it is two of his dearly films, but few have since. "Get Out" came close at times but lacked the courage of it's convictions though still being a very fine black comedy. And so, many will miss the message. Think Donald Trump and you may have the key to get inside "The Favourite" and enjoy this study of power held and abused by those who no they are not deserving of it and yet blunder through, concentrating on foolish details and thus getting nothing of value accomplished in their lives. To accomplish all this took great actors at their prime, giving performances that are astoundingly sharp, brilliant, the likes of which are seldom seen on screen anymore. "Citizen Kane", "The Favourite", Donald Trump - he'll hate it. With just a little effort, you'll love it!

THE FAVOURITE
Early 18th century England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne and her close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne’s ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at return to her aristocratic roots. As the politics of war become quite time consuming for Sarah, Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen’s companion. Their burgeoning friendship gives her a chance to fulfil her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or rabbit stand in her way
