Director: Yorgos Lanthimos. Cast: Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz, Nicholas Hoult. 119 min. Rated R. Ireland/UK/USA. Comedy/Drama.
Two women compete for the attention of their queen. This 18th century British royal dramedy has all the familiar elements of a Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth, The Lobster) film: comically grotesque characters, self-inflicted injuries, and a strong presence of animals. And there are a few laughs in between, but ... I just started looking at my watch way too early. Critics are hailing this as one of the best (or the best) movie of the year, and I'm sure it'll snatch a few Oscars - but you'll walk out of the theater, wondering: which planet are these critics living on?
