Set in early 1800s England, director Yorgos Lanthimos’ THE FAVOURITE features Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz scheming against one another to become the preferred friend and adviser to Olivia Colman’s Queen Anne.

In recommendations, Mark Pfeiffer appreciates the zaniness of a robot fighting a force controlling cell phones in S. Shankar’s science fiction-action-comedy 2.0. Paul Markoff is compelled by how Alex Garland explores the feelings between a man and an artificially intelligent creation in EX MACHINA.
