I really love the real Marie Antoinette and study her quite a bit....coppola pretty much screwed the pooch on her life. she made her look frivalous and silly. in reality, she was a scapegoat. she also made mistakes on the paintings... Full review

I got a little bored with it. But, I liked the clothes and versailles and everything. I thought that it didn't really have that much dialogue and they talked way too quiet.... Full review

It was bad. I have to say that it was the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. In an effort to make the movie more enjoyable I was forced to laugh at scenes even when they weren't funny-... Full review

The reason why Louis and Marie didn't have children for awhile is b/c he had phimosis,he had an operation later and finally was able to give them children-it wasn't a fear of sex.Furthermore,I don't believe they even mentioned the Diamond Necklace... Full review

Kirsten Dunst's turn as Marie was definately Oscar Worthy. The way she portrated the teenaged queen was just amazing. It's ashame she didn't get nominated.... Full review

Marie Antoinnette's life for modern day appreciation would have been an excellent material,especially on a competent hand of a director like Coppola, but the thing that bothers me is the direction that the movie went. IN a attempt to make the... Full review

This tired recast of Antoinette's story re-enacts the same mistakes that she herself made: continuous partying without a shred of responsibility. Rather than exonorating her, it simply reveals why she came to be hated: endless self-indulgence. The film is an exercise... Full review

The sumptuously made film, glorious visually, begins well enough, establishing the early part of the story with great style and energy. A lot more unrestrainement all round might have made the film a more audacious and ultimately more satisfying film, which would give audiences something to talk about. ... Full Review

I doubt Coppola will ever put together a more beautiful and perfect 90 seconds of film.....You can say this much for certain about Sophia Coppola's odd, enthralling, tedious, and frivolously sumptuous Marie Antoinette :....Again, it recalls the early promise of the film....For all its faults, Marie Antoinette is a beautifully constructed film....It's a great scene though.... ...

We tend to think of Marie Antoinette as the spoiled rich bitch who too busy swimming in diamonds to care that her people were starving. Kirsten Dunst, on the one hand, is perfect casting for the part of Marie Antoinette. ... Full Review
