Movie Rec: The Favourite (2018)

[sea_changed]

I finally had a chance to see The Favourite, the wonderfully off-beat Queen Anne movie featuring her lesbian affairs. I loved it; my review, with only the mildest of spoilers, is here.

I can't wait to see it! Love the icon btw (ETA: comment written without reading your review, thanks for the warning)

Thank you! I nearly died during the scenes with Rachel Weisz dressed as such; it's made from mashamorevna's lovely edit. (And you're quite welcome.)

(I should have said *before* reading your review, hopefully you got that gist!)

I am a complete sucker for frock coats and I *adore* Rachel... I may need a fan ;)

[sea_changed]

Fans definitely required--every single thing she wears in this movie is a Look, I was very much overcome.

I saw this today! Enjoyable and thought-provoking.

[sea_changed]

Excellent! I agree on both counts--I like that it can be approached from a lot of different angles, and it leaves you with a lot to mull over.

Great movie! Rachel Weisz (Sarah) was particularly wonderful.

[sea_changed]

Yes! I loved her especially--all the complexity she brought to Sarah was wonderful and fascinating to watch.
