The Favourite - SOLD OUT

A triple threat of acting talent drives this acid period drama of courtly scheming. Olivia Colman is Queen Anne, a capricious and sickly ruler led by the nose by Rachel Weisz's courtier Lady Sarah. Abigail (Emma Stone) is a disenfranchised noblewoman who quickly sets about regaining her position by wheedling her way into the Queen's favours.
Cue an equal parts hilarious and horrific love triangle-cum-battle royale, played out against the backdrop of the English Restoration.
The fullest realisation of Yorgos Lanthimos's (The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Lobster) talents to date, The Favourite has the beauty of Barry Lyndon and the avant garde edge of Peter Greenaway. Wall Street Journal The comedy is elegant, frequently dark and genuinely witty. The spectacle is gorgeous. The revisionism is gleeful.!
