I don't even know where to start on this movie. The cinematography, the plot, the costumes, the soundtrack and the acting are all the best I've seen in a LONG time. This is one of the greatest movies I have ever watched. I could elaborate, but it would take up all day. And as a young, gay woman, thank you for making a lesbian couple that wasn't just for the male gaze, where one didn't die off and where the story wasn't just about them coming out / discrimination. Yes to more movies of people who just happen to be gay and that's not the point of the story! Cheers!

You can just smell the pretentiousness coming off from it.

The movie is very much like its framing, everything is just weird for the sake of being weird.
I will reiterate what particularly critics sometimes seem to forget: being different doesn’t equal being good.

Also, it’s not even remotely funny.
Also, there’s barely a coherent narrative.
Also, it’s underlit.

3/10

This is just the right amount of weird with a good amount of humor. Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone all give fantastic performances. It's hard to say which one was the best because they all play so well off each other. Nicholas Hoult does a pretty good job too. The cinematography was great. I love the wide angle shots and the way the camera moves is wonderful. The score, the sets, the costumes are all top notch. This is definitely Yorgos Lanthimos's best movie so far and I think he is one of the more interesting directors working today. It's even better after a rewatch.

This movie has the ugliest cinematography ever. What the hell?! The performances are extraordinary, but the story? What a mess.

Decided to watch it after Olivia Colman’s Oscar win after hearing mixed reviews and sadly I just didn’t see what all the fuss was about. Lots of weird camera angles, annoying music, Queen Anne wailing every now and again for what reason I still haven’t managed to fathom and a plot which to me was boring. Very underwhelmed given the hype during Awards season..

I am enchanted by the movie. Emma Stone is superlative. Interesting the proposal of 3 strong female characters as the ones in the movie and the total absence of men. I strongly raconmend the vision of the film.

Oh, this was f*cking fabulous.

1. i love women!!!!!!! God, Olivia, Emma and Rachel are SO good in this and their characters are all so freaking iconic.
2. the sass and personality from the first second of the film till that ending. the whole thing smelled of legendary.
3. im not the biggest fan of period films but if they all looked like this i would be.
4. gays make everything better, they really do

9/10

Captivatingly weird and funny. Excellent acting, makeup, cinematography and fantastic costumes. Had me intrigued from the first minute. I loved how different this movie was.

The movie features great performances, gorgeous costumes and beautiful sets. But the story is awful, the characters loathsome, it has incredibly annoying music, as well as some of the ugliest camera angles. The many sexual and nude scenes were also off-putting. Much pretentiousness, little substance.

Watch Hallmark movies. It sounds like they are more of your type.

it is a huge waste of time. Explains one or two interesting things about the queen. The storyline isn't interesting at all. Too many sex scenes and nudity, I'm not purist but some scenes got me thinking "what is this for?". As some others users said, the movie isn't engaging. There is a substantial lack of content, it looks like one of those movies that tries to fool the viewer by providing luxurious backgrounds and frivolous side stories.
