Talk:The Favourite (film)

Description edit

The lede says that this is a "biographical historical film ". This tells you virtually nothing about the movie. A biography of who? There's no further description anywhere in the article.

Of course if you read the cast list, and know a bit of British history, you can probably guess from the title what it's going to be about. But an encyclopedia shouldn't expect readers to guess things like that. Given that all of the already-linked sources already tell us what the movie is about, there's no reason Wikipedia shouldn't do the same. --50.0.128.21 (talk) 08:43, 14 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

historical accuracy edit

I think there should be more emphasis on the extreme inaccuracy of this film, in case people think they are learning history from it. It is largely malign fantasy. Seadowns (talk) 01:13, 7 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
