This story tells about a dramatic drama and a mysterious comedy that we live in the early 18th century. That story began when England was at war with the French, where Queen Anne embraced the throne, and her close friend, Lady Sarah, took over the country instead of her, while looking after Anne's seemingly different mood. As he passed, a new servant arrives at Abigail, where events change and her charm is matched by Sarah. In the end, Sarah Abigail takes her wing and sees Abigail as an opportunity to return to her aristocratic roots, something she has long needed.
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.
