Early 18th century England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving.

- DIRECTOR AND ACTORS' STATEMENTS
''I didn't want to have a villain and a victim. Instead, the idea of who is a villain or a victim is one that shifts and changes and moves from one character to another. This way you feel for what they each do and you aren't able to make absolute judgments on their characters even if they do a horrible thing.''
Yorgos Lanthimos
''In her heart, she doesn't really feel like a queen, which comes out in her rages and in her way of putting her foot down. I enjoyed myself, being cantankerous and slapping page boys.''
Olivia Colman as Queen Anne
''That there are three really beautifully crafted females at the center of this story still remains rare in film scripts. The way they are each so flawed, so hilarious and so very complicated, I love that. It's just reflective of real life.''
Emma Stone as Abigail
''The universe Yorgos creates is always unique to his sensibility and it couldn't be replicated by anybody else. Tonally, the film is a pure creation of Yorgos - and how he creates tone is perhaps the most brilliant and most mysterious thing he does.''
Rachel Weisz as Lady Sarah
''I love that the film is about the power and the love of three women - Rachel, Emma and Olivia's characters. Whose characters are actually much stronger than the male characters in many ways and certainly, in terms of appearance compared to these men running around in three-inch heels, leggings and big wigs.''
Nicholas Hoult as Harley
''With Yorgos, as long as you come willing and open to play around and jump into his mad mind, that's all that you need to do.''
Joe Alwyn as Masham
