About this movie

In early 18th-century England, a frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne and her closest friend, Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz), governs the country while tending to Anne’s health. When new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, Sarah takes Abigail under her wing as she cunningly schemes to return to her aristocratic roots, setting off an outrageous rivalry to become the Queen’s favourite.

Laugh out loud comedy?... Nothing of the sort. A dark, and somewhat alice in wonderland style view of the royal court. Sadly not what was expected and left wondering what on earth I've just sat through

Very disappointing piece of frippery from the great Lanthimos. Bland, miscast and an eyesore. It ends with a typically godawful song by Elton John. No joke.
