The Favourite is a vicious, rollicking period comedy
Colman's Queen Anne is sweet and giddy and transparently bonkers.
Ryan Gilbey, The New Statesman, 2nd January 2019The Favourite - review from Mark Kermode
Yorgos Lanthimos's tragicomedy set in the court of Queen Anne boasts daring performances from its three female stars and lashings of lust, intrigue and deceit.
Mark Kermode, The Guardian, 30th December 2018Review: The Favourite
Despite its appearance, with exquisitely realised production design and costume work, a normal period drama this is not. It's a joy to spend a couple of hours in its macabre, off-kilter world.
Ross Miller, The National (Scotland), 28th December 2018The Favourite review
Yorgos Lanthimos's absurdist take on the court of Queen Anne is wildly entertaining.
Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times, 24th December 2018The Favourite review
The court of Queen Anne becomes a battleground for the formidable trio of Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone in this wonderfully irreverent romp from the director of The Lobster.
Emma Simmonds, Radio Times, 21st December 2018Olivia Colman, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz interview
The three stars talk rivalry, royalty, referendums and the depiction of women running the country in their new period drama. Will the script's filthy language affect their Oscar chances?

Yorgos Lanthimos's nutty slab of period fruitcake, about a rivalry in the court of a gout-ridden Queen Anne, is deservedly becoming an Oscars frontrunner.
Catherine Shoard, The Guardian, 13th December 2018Review: The Favourite
Yorgos Lanthimos's historical picture features a starry cast trading veiled insults and clearly having a great time.
