In early 18th-century England, a frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne, and her closest friend, Lady Sarah (Academy Award® Winner Rachel Weisz), governs the country while tending to Anne's ill health and volatile temper. When new servant Abigail (Academy Award® Winner 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 favourite.

I did not know what this movie was about or who was in it, but I really enjoyed it! So if an 18th century period piece where Stone and Weisz try to out wit each other by any means at their disposal sounds like fun, this is a must watch. And the phrase "outrageous rivalry" is about the best description of this movie.
