With an infectious sense of humor and some wonderfully dynamic performances, The Favourite is a shining example of a filmmaker at the prime of his art.
It’s a feel-good comedy but way more ridiculous than I expected. Most often, a feel-good comedy is centered around tame jokes and a situation that is easily identifiable. This film seems to be based around a young man’s coming-of-age through time spent with a retired CIA assassin suffering a terminal illness.
