Yorgos Lanthimos's "The Favourite," landing on Netflix January 23rd
Forget stuffy period dramas. The Favourite is a hilarious, grotesque, and surprisingly relatable exploration of power, obsession, and the lengths people will go to for a queen's favour. Olivia Coleman delivers a tour-de-force performance as the ailing monarch, caught in a tug-of-war between her trusted advisor (Rachel Weisz) and the cunning newcomer, Abigail (Stone). Nicholas Hoult's scheming politician adds extra chaos to the mix, all captured in Lanthimos's signature offbeat style.
Yes, it's about royalty, but don't expect a historical documentary. This is a modern masterpiece of absurdist humor, laced with biting social commentary and outrageous visuals. It's the kind of film that stays with you long after the credits roll, leaving you both horrified and hysterically laughing. Trust me, there's never been a period drama like this.
So, ditch the family movie night and get ready for a wild ride with The Favourite. With Lanthimos and Stone already confirmed for a trilogy, this is just the beginning of a cinematic partnership that's redefining dark comedy. Don't miss out on this instant classic when it hits Netflix.
