An acid-laced period drama, the new film from Yorgos Lanthimo is a caustically funny power struggle between three actors sure to be garlanded this awards season. National treasure Olivia Colman gives the performance of a lifetime as Queen Anne, cared for and manipulated by her courtier Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz). Abigail (Emma Stone), a noblewoman stripped of her fortune, enters the frame as a mere servant, but quickly inveigles her way into the Queen’s favour.

With a brilliant supporting cast (including Mark Gatiss, Nicholas Hoult, James Smith and Joe Alwyn), The Favourite is top flight filmmaking that recalls Stanley Kubrick and Peter Greenaway.

The Favourite has been nominated for 12 British Academy Awards including Best Film, Outstanding British Film, Best Director and Olivia Coleman as Best Actress. Olivia has also won Best Actress Award at the Golden Globes.
