Saw it today and this was fukking amazing, definitely made up for how underwhelming The Killing Of A Sacred Deer was.
To say it in short, this is, much like The Lobster, pure uncut dry humor. But it's amazing because of how dark and evil the humor is too. It's British royal court fukkery and everyone is a hateful snob and it's delightful to see them insult each other at every turn with razor sharp remarks.
Yorgos Laminthos is starting to get better as a director too, his direction is a lot less cold than his previous films and this probably features the best use of the (often horrid) fish-eye lens ever. The cast is brilliant and Emma Stone looks better than ever, but Olivia Colman really is the star here as the unstable queen.
My only "issue" with the film is that like Laminthos' previous films, you kinda expect/want him to turn it up a notch for the final act, but instead he slows it down more. The movie doesn't necessarily outstay its welcome, but you do start to feel the length towards the end when it doesn't seem like it had to.

I really loved this movie. However, I do not think it is as hilarious as people are saying it. It's a dark comedy, heavy emphasis on DARK, as in dark AF. Everyone brought their A-game, the acting was top notch, and the script was brilliant but I left this movie feeling so fukking heavy. Me and my friend spent the night drinking and talking about all of the various meanings of what we saw. Maybe this hit me different because I'm a woman and have had issues with fertility but the film's messages about personal autonomy, manipulation, love, and just the various ways people use each other to get what they need hit me hard. It is funny but I think advertising it as a comedy is misleading because we stopped laughing somewhere in the middle.
I'd still give it a 9.5 out of 10 though and would not begrudge any awards it gets.
