Inglaterra vive en guerra con Francia a comienzos del siglo XVIII. En el palacio, la reina Ana (Olivia Colman) ocupa el trono, pero su salud es frágil y apenas le interesa gobernar. Quien lleva las riendas del país es Sarah Churchill (Rachel Weisz), su amiga más cercana, que toma decisiones en su lugar y vigila que nada escape a su control. Los días transcurren entre consejos, caprichos de la soberana y una corte que espera cada movimiento de Sarah. Cuando llega una nueva criada, Abigail (Emma Stone), la rutina del palacio empieza a tambalearse. Abigail necesita un lugar en el mundo y pronto comprende que la cercanía con la reina puede ser la vía para conseguirlo. La dirige Yorgos Lanthimos, con guion de Deborah Davis y Tony McNamara.

Trivia about The Favourite

Kate Winslet fue anunciada en septiembre de 2015 para interpretar a Sarah Churchill, pero en octubre de ese año Rachel Weisz la había sustituido.
En su primer fin de semana en Estados Unidos, la película recaudó 422.410 dólares en cuatro salas, con una media por sala de 105.603 dólares, la mejor de 2018 según Wikipedia en inglés.
Antes del rodaje, Lanthimos sometió a los actores principales a un proceso de ensayos poco convencional que duró tres semanas.
Lanthimos pidió al director de fotografía Robbie Ryan que usara objetivos de ojo de pez y gran angular en la mayoría de los planos.
