Why The Favourite should win the best picture Oscar

Yorgos Lanthimos upends expectations of a polite period drama with a wild, raucous, dark comedy filled with perversity, pettiness and pet rabbits.

Review: 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.

Review: The Favourite

Yorgos Lanthimos's historical picture features a starry cast trading veiled insults and clearly having a great time.
