As soon as I saw trailers for MQOS, knowing a bit about the history of this period, I thought that for sure this would be another rewriting of history. Then reading some reviews seemed to confirm this which made me very sceptical about seeing it.
So I was pleasantly surprised to see that, although there was some rewriting history, it did not detract from the film, wasn't what I expecting and was quite inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.
I thought the film itself was excellent, Really well paced and well acted. The costumes and scenery are also a thing of beauty.
Having seen both, I really don't understand how The Favourite got such critical acclaim over this, similarly timed release, period drama but I guess that's what opinions are all about.
