Entertainment Reviews:
Lusciously designed and featuring a trio of fiery female performances and some acidicly funny dialogue, it's a naughty crowdpleaser.

Awards Daily
Rating: B --
Period films have touched on same-sex romance, but the way The Favourite centers a lesbian love triangle feels utterly new.

Mediaversity Reviews
The Favourite is full of vibrant colors, opulent sets, lush costumes, blood oranges, tea cakes, and a world of sensory delights. But none of it is beautiful.

The Gospel Coalition
Uproarious certainly -- but Coleman also brought great pathos as the frail, reluctant monarch.
Uncut
4 stars out of 5 -- As uncouth and unleashed as Merchant Ivory is buttoned up, it’s part ribald romp, part pointed character study, part cat-and-mouse psychological thriller, part historical-political machinations.
Empire
It features a sharp, farcical screenplay (by Tony McNamara and Deborah Davies), along with Lanthimos' signature weirdness and Oscar-worthy performances by three strong women.

Isthmus (Madison, WI)
Stone and Weisz make wonderful antagonists, Weisz so severe she is almost un-beautiful, Stone the seeming innocent whose glittering eyes see more than they let on.
Film Comment
Product Description:
In 18th century England, the friendship between the failing Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) and her close friend Lady Sarah Churchill (Rachel Weisz) who governs state matters in her stead, is stirred by the arrival of ambitious servant Abigail Masham (Emma Stone). Taken in by Sarah at first because of her charm, Abigail slowly endears herself to the Queen, at Sarah's expense. Bitter resentment ensues, culminating in a behind-the-scenes rivalry between Abigail and Sarah as to who will become the Queen's court favorite. Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.
