The Favourite
;t=12s The latest work by that genius Yorgos Lanthimos, The Favourite enabled Olivia Colman to win an Oscar. It is the early 18th century. England is at war with the French, but duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving.

When a new servant Abigail Masham (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 too 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 nor rabbit stand in her way.
