I cannot stress this enough. This is one of the worst movies I have seen in my entire life. I studied Film in college so I am no stranger to the weird or the avant garde. This however is just pure vapid horror. I am absolutely shocked thisI cannot stress this enough. This is one of the worst movies I have seen in my entire life. I studied Film in college so I am no stranger to the weird or the avant garde. This however is just pure vapid horror. I am absolutely shocked this film has met with universal acclaim as its completely un-funny, meaningless and just can I say - gross? Its a shame as the lead actresses are all very talented but Yorgos Lanthimos' direction is pure pretension. Its a shame so many people have failed to see straight through it. Save yourself the cost of a cinema ticket and don't go see the truly awful movie.… Expand

The worst movie I have ever seen. Two hours of time wasted. No plot. Gives a view on the judgement of the three main actresses who thought this movie might enhance their careers. No interest in seeing any of them again.

One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen and it’s rare that I dislike a film so much but watching it was torture. I think the positive reviews on here must be fake.

Film critics have made Yorgos Lanthimos out to be some sort of unique directorial talent and his "works" - "The Lobster","The Killing of a Sacred Deer" and now "The Favourite"- have made him the darling of the festival crowd and the movieFilm critics have made Yorgos Lanthimos out to be some sort of unique directorial talent and his "works" - "The Lobster","The Killing of a Sacred Deer" and now "The Favourite"- have made him the darling of the festival crowd and the movie critics. One can but applaud him for being able to entice finance from the supposed "hard-nosed" money men of Tinseltown and make films that are only comprehensible to a very select few. How to approach his latest, "The Favourite"? Some compare it to Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon", when in reality there are more than a few nods to the outlandish Ken Russell. Is it a drama? Is it a comedy? Is it a comedy drama or a drama comedy? Who can tell? Hopefully the locations and the costume providers have got Yorgos on their Christmas card list. As for the actresses whose talents have been largely wasted,let's hope their careers can survive their participation here. There were moments when all three were on screen at the same time and the power struggles all three endured would have made a more memorable film. Unfortunately the music of the film's composer would then raise its ugly head or the "fish -eye" lens of the cameraman would interfere and kill any drama stone-dead.
Hopefully "word-of-mouth" will kill this film off and at some point there will be a reality check amongst the critics who will finally realise that Yorgos has subjected them to an "Emperor's New Clothes" scenario yet again and they have been had not once, not twice but three times now.… Expand

This movie was about nothing. Absolutely ridiculous and terrible. Worst movie I've seen in a long time.

This was a horrid, depressing depiction of human depravity at it's worst. Why would you spend money to see that?
