Synopsis of The Favorite, the Oscar-nominated film that can be seen on Netflix
“The Favorite” takes us to 1708, during the War of the Spanish Succession. Queen Anne, played brilliantly by Olivia Colman, is a figure of fragile health with little interest in governing, preferring eccentric activities. Sarah Churchill (Rachel Weisz), the Duchess of Marlborough, has effective control over the country.
The arrival of Abigail Masham (Emma Stone), Sarah’s impoverished cousin, alters this dynamic. Abigail cunningly earns a place in the queen’s inner circle, triggering events of love, betrayal, and power struggles. The film explores the complexities of human relationships, revealing the hidden ambitions and emotions of the characters.
