10 Movie and TV Picks For November8 of 10
The Favourite | In US theaters on Friday, Nov. 23
One of the things I like the most about Yorgos Lanthimos: the writer/director is unafraid to drop you in the middle of a bizarro scenario without much context (and never any exposition). It'll be refreshing, however, to see his take on more fact-driven material, in this case the incredibly intimate court of Queen Anne and how three generations of women fare during wartime. Regardless of when it was that you, like us, fell in love with Olivia Colman (was it "Broadchurch" or "The Night Manager" ... or perhaps during her time on "Green Wing"?), we want her to sit atop multiple royal thrones (and our wish will be granted again in 2019 as she takes over on "The Crown"), and we relish the opportunity to see her grace awards-show stages this year. — Arno
