The TVI Take
Three women compete for power in 18th-century England. Yorgos Lanthimos's most accessible film — historical comedy that becomes something darker.
Exceptional craft — the fisheye lens and the costume design create a completely original visual world. Educational about Queen Anne's court and the role of female power in aristocratic England.
