I saw The Favourite this past weekend and it was incredible. It's definitely Lanthimos' most "straight" film, and it really feels like he knew he had three incredible actresses here and he was willing to step back from his usual weirdness and just let them do their thing.
I'm wondering in what direction he goes from here. This will definitely put him into the big time, and I'm sure tamer, more mainstream, and bigger budget opportunities will come knocking for him.
It'd be a shame if he ever let up on his unique vision and deprived us of the absurd brilliance of The Lobster or the genuine familial darkness of Sacred Deer, but who knows where he goes from here.
