In 18th century England, the close relationship between Queen Anne and Sarah Churchill is threatened by the arrival of Sarah's cousin, Abigail Hill. The result is a vicious rivalry between the two cousins to be the Queen's favorite.

Love the trio of Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz, and Olivia Coleman. Lanthimos films are always a weird journey. I love the use of fisheye lenses (DP Robbie Ryan), which I read was inspired by the reflections on mirrors in Jan Van Eyck paintings. Mostly, I love the absurdity of court life paired with Lanthimos' wit.
Walking out of the theater, my friend almost threw up because the film, and the complexities of the relationships were so depraved. But somehow we all understood it completely.
