“A scintillating black comedy of manners from Yorgos Lanthimos, it latches its fangs in deep.” – Austin Chronicle

This bawdy, acerbic tale of royal intrigue, passion, envy and betrayal in the court of Queen Anne may just be the finest (and funniest) work from Greek Weird Wave auteur Yorgos Lanthimos. In early 18th-century England, a frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne, while her friend and lover Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz), governs the country while tending to Anne’s ill health and volatile temper. 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 favo(u)rite. Based on Queen Anne’s real-life lesbian relationships, this twisted love-triangle tale “slices open three queer women and lets their messy humanity bleed all over you” (Guardian).

This film is screening as part of Arkadin’s mini-series, LOVE COMES IN 3, spotlighting throuples, threesomes, love triangles, and other romantically complicated trios.
