Yorgos Lanthimos's bawdy, acerbic tale of royal intrigue, passion, envy and betrayal in the court of Queen Anne in early 18th century England.
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 new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at 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 fulfil her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or rabbit stand in her way.
A career-best from Oscar®-nominated director and master of the weird Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer).
Dubbed a “punk Restoration romp”, Yorgos Lanthimos’ historical tragicomedy examines the relationship between three women entangled by love, loss, and loneliness.
