The Favourite might be my favourite Yorgos Lanthimos movie.

Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz were great, and their rivalry kept me invested in who would come out on top.

Olivia Colman gave my favourite performance as the childish and easily manipulated Queen Anne.

Nicholas Hoult was also a great addition who brought even more tension to the story.

The movie felt slightly too long near the end, but I still loved it.

I rated The Favourite 4.5 out of 5.
