Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Simply Perfect
One of my all time favorites.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
This was a gigantic disappointment. I was expecting a period drama focused on the history of the time and the actual events taking place, but what I got was over 2 hours of a bunch of young adults playing around in fancy dresses and very bad wigs. The soundtrack is great, but does not fit in any way. This film turned Marie Antoinette's life into a bad teen drama and left me disgusted.
I was quite excited to see this film because of my interest in French history, but I was disappointed. Coppola's choice to have Kirsten Dunst play Marie Antoinette was predictable. I tried so hard throughout watching the movie to try and see the resemblance between the real Marie Antoinette and Dunst, but there isn't any. Marie Antoinette was a busty woman with a big nose and greyish hair, when Dunst is blonde and skinny. Maybe you could say I'm being picky, but it would've been nicer if Coppola tried harder to find another actress that looked more like Marie Antoinette.With the budget being 40 million USD, you would hope that they would put more effort into the costumes. In "The Duchess", which is set in the same time period with the same theme, the budget was 13.5 million euros and they won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design. However, I liked the fact that they filmed in the actual Versailles palace. The scenes, even how slow and boring they were, were aesthetically pleasing.In conclusion, this movie was slow, sloppy and dull. If you like aesthetically pleasing movies, I would recommend checking this out. But if you pay more interest into the quality of a movie, you'll probably be disappointed.
Slow at points, but the sets & costumes are stunning and it's gorgeously shot. I've seen it multiple times and I always find something new love.
If you are a student of history at all, skip this movie! If you are an American intrigued with the interplay and influence of the American revolution on the French Revolution, skip this movie! It is an insult to anyone that has any regard for the truth. The amount of historical content in this vapid exercise of costume and frivolity can be summed up in a short paragraph, or a short scene. And Sophia Cuppola (writer/director), I see that your net worth is estimated at 20 million. I think you may be part of the problem. Do you have any concept what it is like to be poor? Why didn't you include in the movie any content about the the obscene contrast between the wealth of the French nobility at the expense of the rest of the population (the 99.99% in Bernie's parlance)? Sophia, you successfully created a movie that captured a lot of teenage eyes, ears, and brains. It is a travesty that you completely wasted an opportunity to show that the significance of Marie Antoinette's life was that she typified the symbolic and literal end of the long overdue death of the Monarchy and the disparate distribution of wealth that made it possible (a concept that is 100% relevant today)! You got one half of the equation, the obscene wealth and frivolity of the court. You completely missed the other half, the desperate poverty (many of them literally starving) of those paying for the excesses of the ruling class. So to put it in Charles Dickens terms, the movie is "The Tale of ONE City". By the way, the perfunctory ending that fails to show that Marie and her King were executed is ridiculous! Sophia, I do hope you do better next time.
