...buried in its black, raucous heart is a melancholic ode to foiled love and unfathomable loss.

It is a scabrous and often hilarious film, made loopier by the nightmarish visions and wide-angle distortions contrived by the cinematographer Robbie Ryan.

...Stone is clever, perky, and playful, and Weisz is cool, decisive, and sensual; they clash beautifully.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Favourite about? Toggle content

In the early 18th century, England is at war with France, and the frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne. Her closest friend and advisor, Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz), governs the country in her absence due to her fragile health and unstable temperament. However, Lady Sarah's influence is threatened by the arrival of a new servant, Abigail (Emma Stone), who cunningly schemes to return to her aristocratic roots and becomes the Queen's new favorite. As politics and personal interests collide, tensions rise between Lady Sarah and Abigail in a bitter rivalry for the Queen's affections.
