I was wondering why Adam Ackland was posting very frequently about The Favourite and I just discovered his wife worked on it! I know a lot of people knows who is who in BC’s friends circle. I don’t! I forgot names but I now know that she is a set decorator that worked in The Last Enemy and Little Favour and now in The Favourite doing what it seems was a very impressive job based in the trailers!

Nice ce to see her husband and friends (including the famous one!) were there with her in the premiere!

(Well, at least I think the set decorator is his wife! Maybe I’m wrong!)

I finally saw the trailer for The Favorite and I was riveted. It looks like a delicious cat fight with some great actresses. It’s got all the things I love - period costuming, sumptuous cinematography, humor, cruelty, and a wacky and bizarre Queen. Fabulous. 😍

I'm very glad for Olivia Colman. I hope The Favourite is good, I didn't enjoy the Killing etc. Very disturbing and kind of forced imo.

I didn’t finished The Killing... as I said above I hated the way the actors were speaking! It was so silly so I couldn’t take it seriously! I loved how Nicole Kidman barely tried the tone and just did her own thing and gave a good performance, tho.! From the trailers, it seems the director didn’t tried to do the same here so that’s an improvement!

I’m glad for Cuarón. I really want to watch his movie and I’m convinced he is the most talented of the Three Amigos. I think Iñarritu is pretentious and shallow meanwhile lovable Del Toro is a wonderful visual artist be clearly he sometimes battle with things like plot and character development. Cuarón is a little like Ang Lee: they are both filmmakers without a cliched own filmic style but that actually helps them because they and they do anything. Also they both have a very deep humanity.
