The tension rises between Sarah and Abigail, as the latter transforms from a seeming innocent to a cold, manipulative power seeker. Abigail quickly rises from kitchen help to Sarah’s maid, and on to be the confidant of the Queen. But that all changes when Emma Stone’s character, Abigail, arrives at the royal palace. Rachel’s character, Sarah Churchill, has the ear of Queen Anne to the extent that nothing happens, politically or personally, without the influence of Sarah.

Olivia, along with Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone, form a female triangle of tension, intrigue and eroticism in “The Favourite,” with Olivia as Queen Anne. Olivia has starred as well in “Broadchurch” (Netflix) and “The Night Manager” (AMC). Or the Duke of Marlborough, Sarah’s husband, calmly reading what appears to be a newspaper (did they actually have newspapers in 1711?) as soldiers ride into the grounds of his estate, intent on making his arrest.įor those of you who are fans of “The Crown,” you will know Olivia Colman as the actress replacing Claire Foy as the Queen. At a formal ball, Rachel Weisz’s character, Sarah, and her partner, break into a dance worthy of a 2019 rave party. The New York Times critic called it a “bracingly cynical comedy of royal manners.” To me it is a black comedy, and bizarre at times, often difficult to watch.
