The rivalry between the aspiring ‘favourites’ will cross every limit, from political to sexual manipulations, escalating in a climax of consequences for each woman. The plot revolves around the battled intimacy between the frail Queen Anne of England, her confidante (and lover) Sarah the Duchess of Marlborough and her cousin Abigail.
This all-female historical drama, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Olivia Coleman, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz, was one of the queerest films about women of 2018. Olivia Coleman, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz
