The Favourite

In 18th-century England, a bitter rivalry unfolds between Queen Anne and her trusted advisor Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, as a new arrival, Abigail Hill, threatens to upend their close relationship. The game of politics, power, and passion becomes increasingly treacherous as the three women engage in a ruthless struggle for influence over the ailing monarch. Set against the backdrop of war with France and the intrigue-ridden world of 18th-century Great Britain's aristocracy, "The Favourite" is a dark comedy that explores the cutthroat nature of female ambition and the lengths to which women will go to survive and thrive in a patriarchal society.
