A truly bizarre film about Queen Anne and those who served her that borders on the absurd to great comedic effect.
The cinematography is very slick, although the frequent use of panning shots with fisheye lenses is slightly dizzying.
The aesthetics are fitting for the period, with some interesting use of typography throughout.
There are some great performances of the rather larger-than-life characters.
It takes some time for the story to really get going, but that does present an opportunity to get to know the characters at the start before a multi-layered narrative kicks in with a number of twists and turns.
In short, The Favourite is an enjoyable film with a rather unique style.
