The Favourite

(2018)Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos120 min · RHistory, Comedy, Drama
“A bawdy, brilliant triumph.”

Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives at Queen Anne's court in early 18th-century England as a cousin fallen on hard times, looking for any position at all. She finds the Queen (Olivia Colman) leaning entirely on Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz), who rules the court in her name. Yorgos Lanthimos follows Abigail as she studies how to get close to the throne, and she is hungry enough to learn fast.
