The Favourite

☆☆☆☆

+
The performances are nomination-worthy (Emma Stone, Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz) in the story of the competition between Lady Sarah (Weisz) and Abigail (Stone) to be the Queen's "favorite."
-
No necessarily the movie you think you are going to see based on the trailer. Not nearly as humorous as the trailer. Actually, there is more sadness and greed than humor.
Rated R

Youth

☆☆1/2

+
"Youth" (all star cast including Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel, Rachel Weisz, Paul Dano, and Jane Fonda) is the story of two old friends at the end of their careers taking a vacation in the Swiss Alps...and reflecting on their lives.
_
The film suffers from a poor screenplay that is trying too hard to be something profound.
Difficult to care about the underdeveloped characters.

Rated R
2 hr. 3 min.
