Early 18th century. England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne and her close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne's ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at a return to her aristocratic roots. As the politics of war become quite time consuming for Sarah, Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen's companion. Their burgeoning friendship gives her a chance to fulfill her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or rabbit stand in her way.
Leave your thoughts about The Favourite.
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyThis couldn’t be further from the corsets and curtsies of your typical Hollywood prestige period piece. It’s more like "All About Eve" directed by a Satyricon-era Fellini all hopped up with enough sex, deviance, hypocrisy, decadence, and spicy profanity to make your average Masterpiece Theatre patron reach into their PBS tote bag for some smelling salts. |
| The Maine EdgeAllen AdamsThe Favourite is an odd amalgamation, a sex farce in costume drama's clothing...sumptuously filmed and audaciously performed...a cracked-mirror Merchant-Ivory production. |
| Spokesman-Review (Washington)Dan WebsterWeisz is splendidly imperious and Stone more than holds her own among the British cast, though the lesser-known Colman is what truly binds "The Favourite" to history. |
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanThe Favourite is the wittiest film to date from directorYorgos Lanthimos and is brought to life largely by three strong women. |
| Monsters and CriticsFred TopelI always dread period pieces, that it's going to be all highfalutin royalty and frilly dresses and antiquated customs that don't interest me. The Favourite will still satisfy those die-hard costume drama fans, but it won me over too. |
| CinemacyMorgan RojasWith his rich visual aesthetic and sharp-witted flare, Lanthimos - like our dueling cousins - pulls out all the stops to make The Favourite hilariously unforgettable. |
| AARP Movies for GrownupsTim Appelo[A] faster, funnier, infinitely nastier best picture Oscar contender. |
| NPRGlen WeldonStone's never been better than she is here, as the character of Abigail threads a perilous needle. |
| Flickering MythRobert KojderContains a trio of performances that are so commanding, perfectly calibrated with the right amount of showiness and underlying character depth, and overflowing with jealousy, they deserve every ensemble award that exists |
| Student EdgeSimon MiraudoDevious, disturbing and darkly funny, The Favourite is, well, the best. |
