With Poor Things racking up a lot of critical praise over the last three months, it's very clear that Emma Stone may have found the director who she can elevate her craft with, and that is Yorgos Lanthimos. As a whole, Poor Things has acquired 11 nominations going into awards night. It's a visually stunning film that feels ripped from a children's book, although, be advised, it does not have a level of children's content in the movie.

Every great director finds their one partner in crime who feeds off one another creatively. In the stories shared between Lanthimos and Stone during the award-season buzz, you can tell that the magic behind this project did not happen overnight. Emma Stone is great at just about anything. She'll take weak material and make it entertaining. Then she'll have something like this, a role that feels career-defining in the sense that she has...

The Favourite satirizes class rigidity in 19th-century Britain while examining power dynamics with acidic wit. It's Lanthimos' crowning achievement. Compared to Poor Things, The Favourite is more grounded with a recognizable setting. Lanthimos uses absurdity and off-kilter perspectives to highlight inequality. The Favourite is a feminist triumph, portraying morally ambiguous and nuanced female characters. It explores the sacrifices and manipulation that come with gaining power.

Poor Things, one of the best films of 2023, only seems to be gaining more Oscar momentum every week. And with good reason, it's the kind of bizarre, visionary work that isn't made often enough in this day and age. Yet director Yorgos Lanthimos first collaborated with star Emma Stone (as well as screenwriter Tony McNamara) six years ago, possibly to an even more quirky, intoxicating effect.

Their first team-up, 2018's The Favourite, remains an utter gem to this day, brilliantly satirizing the rigidity of class...

Early 18th century. England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne and her close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne’s ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at a return to her aristocratic roots. As the politics of war become quite time consuming for Sarah, Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen’s companion. Their burgeoning friendship gives her a chance to fulfill her ambitions and she will not let woman,...

The Favourite brings together Emma Stone, Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, Mark Gatiss, Joe Alwyn and Nicholas Hoult for a period comedy typical from director Yorgos Lanthimos. The film came to the capital tonight for the 2018 London Film Festival and we spoke to the cast on the red carpet.

The cast talked about making a very different period drama, not beholden to historical accuracy, and how they were encouraged to have as much fun as possible. Emma Stone talked about being part of the three amazing women leading the film, how the rehearsal period helped the characters come out. Mr. Taylor Swift Joe Alwyn talked about working with the director and Rachel Weisz in particular about the dance sequence. He calls the film ‘dark, bawdy, twisted, violent and fun.’ It’s all of those things, and very, very good indeed.

The film stars Emma Delves, Faye Daveney. James Smith, Willem Dalby and Anthony Dougall.
