THE FAVOURITE (2018) Stream on HBO Now and HBO Go; rent on Amazon, Google Play, Vudu and YouTube. Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz and Olivia Colman star in this unsettling, darkly comedic drama set in 18th-century Britain. Queen Anne (Colman) is neurotic, self-pitying and in failing health, yet is wildly spirited. She finds a lover and adviser in her lifelong friend Sarah Churchill (Weisz). But when Sarah’s cousin Abigail Hill (Stone) appears at the palace looking for work, it isn’t long before Abigail rivals Sarah, politically and romantically, for her position with the queen. Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, the film “is a farce with teeth,” A.O. Scott wrote in his review for The Times, “a costume drama with sharp political instincts and an aggressive sense of the absurd.”
