"As it turns out, I'm capable of much unpleasantness."

For our third week on Filmme Fatale Emma Stone, we are discussing the historical dark comedy-drama, The Favourite (2018). Emma Stone plays Abigail, a woman trying to climb out of poverty in 18th-century England. To do this, she competes with Sarah, played by Rachel Weisz, for the favour of Queen Anne, played by Olivia Colman.

This film is an absolute banger that explores themes of love, power, control, and manipulation, but is somehow still absolutely hilarious. With one of the best ensembles of women to ever grace the screen, there is not a moment in this film where you are not either crying or laughing. Listen to us rant and rave over why this movie has become one of our all time favourites (no pun intended).
