Lady Sarah's friendship and influence over Queen Anne is threatened when a new maid, a former noblewoman, is brought to court.
One of the best historical films, especially when the unusual mastery of Yorgos Lanthimos is considered. The real historical subject did not allow him the same freedom to explore fanciful angles as he usually likes, but his style is felt in many aspects of the cinematography, from the ridiculous ostentatious scenes of life at court, the exaggerated so-called noble airs or the capricious and fussy expressions of the women in conflict. The three actresses are wonderful, with Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz beyond mesmerising, which generated an unusual situation in the awards season, an occasion that saw Olivia nominated as a leading actress, and Emma Stone and Rachel Wesz as supporting actresses, although the importance for the narrative and the screen time of each is almost equal.
