Three girls puking while wearing 18th century gowns no less. And much of this by either candlelight or dusk. This to me was the plot for the 'Oscar for best actress winner film' called 'The Favourite'.
Directed by a Greek and containing several English and American actors this story of Queen Anne was somehow a certain crowd pleaser for it garnered applause for the lead role.
The protagonist is a heavy set Queen, bordering on delirium, who through postpartum depression and not having access to an iphone or Google comes off angry and capricious.
Several instances of the film contain otherwise beautiful looking actresses puking their guts out in everything from expensive vases, to spittoons to the wild jungles.
I personally never enjoy period movies for a variety of reasons but humored my better half by sitting to watch this rather longish tale of woe. It is perhaps a good capture of a period in English history in terms of costume and drama but it is not by any means distinct. The English monarchy for a large part was preposterous and given to excesses and looting the poor and this film shows it in vivid color.
Not worth a watch.
