she's in a lot of contemporary Brit TV drama too

one key scene, for me, was the incredibly amusing dance routine (i liked the various anachronistic touches) and then the shift to Queen Anne's face while that was happening. at first i was like "i want to see more of those moves! show me them!" but gradually you realise that you're watching something far more interesting - the change in Coleman's expression - that's the point at which your sympathy for her character is created. that's an acting masterclass right there.
i love this film more than any new film i've seen for a long time.
the thing i loved most were the candle-lit scenes. those were truly stunning.

Yet to see it, but reading descriptions I want a parody with Coleman & Stone uttering "Now we know. Now we know." in unison...

i gen avoid starting on TV shows. I couldn't even get through Twin Peaks s3, and I liked it.

All very well but this is the thread for The Favourite, a film by Yorgos Lanthimos.

I haven't! I don't think I like David Mitchell. He's annoying on panel shows.
― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Thursday, 10 January 2019 19:17 (five years ago) link
you should watch it. shame about having that baggage going into it, but it’s the best sitcom of the 21st c imho
― flopson, Thursday, 10 January 2019 19:37 (five years ago) link
I can't fucking stand the sight of either of 'em on panel shows or in peep shows, nauseating tossers!

Finally saw this, reminded me of a more commercially-minded Peter Greenaway. Also was that crazed organ music on the soundtrack Messiaen? Olivia Colman was fantastic, she's shaping up to be this generation's Judi Dench if that's not an absurd assertion (I realise it probably is).

Huh just watched this an hour ago too, really liked it. It's nice just to have a movie with three female leads. Certainly my pick of the Best Picture nominees (though yet to see Green Book)

Funny seeing Olivia turn up as a secretary in Green Wing last night which was presumably from before she had made a name for herself.
― Stevolende, Saturday, 2 March 2019 12:11 (five years ago) link
Or at least, had it on the tv for the first time in ages. Have the box set from shortly after it was on tv for first time.& while she is a recurring character she is a lesser part of an ensemble cast. Or something to that effect.

Colman met Mitchell & Webb when all were 18-19 yrs old at the Cambridge U. Footlights (1992-93).

This was what I was hoping Phantom Thread would be, the difference being that I actually wanted to hang around these characters. Loved the economy of the screenwriting within the lavish setting.

Finally saw this last night. It was ok, but overall it was underwhelming compared to Lanthimos' other films. I did like the lens choices, and belly-laughed at the dancing in the grand ball scene.

Saw it the other day. I hated the other Lanthimos movie I saw (The Lobster), but liked this quite a bit. It reminded me of Barry Lyndon a little.
