The Favourite is a feast fit for a queen.
Abigail has fallen far from her position as a Lady in 17th Century England. Desperate, she seeks a job from her cousin Lady Marlborough—Queen Anne’s best friend and counselor. Outside the palace, England seeks to end its war with France. Inside, a war begins for the Queen’s affection.
This movie is gorgeous in every way. From beginning to end, it is thoughtful, stimulating, and bitingly funny.
