In early 18th-century England, a frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne, and her closest friend, Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz), governs the country while tending to Anne’s health. When new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, Sarah takes Abigail under her wing as she cunningly schemes to return to her aristocratic roots, setting off an outrageous rivalry to become the Queen’s favourite.

Luis Fernando Galván

Robbie Ryan's lens captures the world's excesses with rhythm and pleasant malice - a world that's simultaneously funny, grotesque, decadent, and perverse. [Full review in Spanish]

The tone is delightfully bawdy and irreverent, but director Yorgos Lanthimos has some serious things to say about history, war, politics, gender and the human heart.

“The Favourite” shines brightest through its top-notch performances across the board and in the sheer beauty of the filmmaking. That light fades when you get down to the meat of the storytelling.

The Favourite is a showcase of great acting, a witty script, and thoughtfully considered direction.

Yorgos at his zany peak, Amadeus via Kubrick, the royal court scenes from The Devils run blisteringly amok - blackbirds dancing on the tips of diabolical hat pins
