"Olivia Coleman, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz are a majestic triumvirate in a period piece that's as tragic as it is hilarious."
- Michael Nordine, Indiewire

In the early 18th century, England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne (Olivia Coleman) occupies her throne, and her close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne's ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant, Abigail (Emma Stone), arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing, and Abigail sees a chance to return to her aristocratic roots. Directed by the wickedly clever Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster, Dogtooth).
