Absolutely Fantastic

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I have seen this movie for second time on tv and again couldn't find anything wrong with it. I consider myself a cinefil, regarding number of movies of different kinds I've seen in my life so far. Someone here wrote, this movie will get more appreciated in the future. I agree. Don't understand negative reviews about historical inaccuracies if French education association awarded the movie. Also, you often have documentaries on the subject on tv, if you want. There I found out, that king demanded all of the aristocracy to move to Versailles after it was built, to surround the king and entertain him. Maybe this also contributed to revolution, if this remained the case 100 years later, because the "upper management" was removed from different parts of France and maybe this also showed in economy? Just my thought.. From first time I have seen this movie, I remembered especially the excellent dinner scene at the end, when royals were dinning in mortal silence, still following court protocol, while the angry mob on the other side of windows was shouting for their heads. It makes you relate to that moment in history, how the disliked couple must have felt..The modern soundtrack is very innovative approach and probably also brought more youth to the cinemas to see historic drama. The birthday party scene stands out. Kirsten Dunst is lovely and witty with her facial expressions in this role. She should have received some awards for it. She's shown also in Fargo she's an interesting actress..Pitty Sophia Coppola doesn't make more movies, I very much liked Lost With Translation as well.

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.

What an interesting movie....it's like Bring it On, in 1750 It's visually pleasing, so there's that. There are cute dogs in the movie, nice costumes. That's about it.

I'm French and for sure Republican. My fellow citizens have annihilated Monarchy and if nobody deserves death, you understand that I don't really enjoy movies that focus about the Royals and that wrongly put them as icons! This one has in addition a special statute being directed by the daughter of one the biggest name in cinema history: so it's again about families, reproduction of blood, well everything that was condemned by my Revolution (and here, this famous historical quote is even erased…). If I analyze her level forgetting her name, I would say that she doesn't seem really inspired: the movie is flat, not dynamic, as linear and repetitive as the court life and at the end, I don't see gripping moments… The only thing that makes the movie alive is the vitality of Kirsten Dunst and for sure the real (or rebuilt) locations of Versailles. So the movie depicts really how golden this cage was.. Maybe the desire to be a mother is sincere but to be blind to the needs of the people while getting well stuffed everyday can't lead to respect and interest from this same people, yesterday, today or tomorrow
