The CinePearl Take
María Valverde (as the titular “Favorita”) delivers a magnetic performance, slipping effortlessly between vulnerability and steel‑clad determination. The pacing is deliberately measured, allowing the simmering tension of post‑World War I Spain to unfold without rush. Themes of power, gender, and social mobility are explored with a nuance that elevates the show beyond typical melodrama, while the cinematography captures the era’s smoky elegance in every frame.
