Rosser's 'Favourite' British Movies10 of 10
The Favourite
If I had to choose a favorite, The Favourite would be that favorite. If you think you've seen it all before in a Royal period drama, think again. Director Yorgos Lanthimos brings fresh perspective to the 18th century royal court of Queen Anne. As the Queen, Olivia Colman generates fear, laughter, and tears within one extraordinary scene, while Rachel Weisz plays her confidant and secret lover with fierce authority. Emma Stone comes between them both, working to rise through the ranks through manipulation ... and gets exactly what she deserves.
