I love this movie for the set, costumes, and soundtrack. The story is not dramatic or an account that I would take as actual. I love the candy colour sets and the excessiveness of it all. Tres Bien!

I am a fan of Sophia Coppola and Kirsten Dunst. This was not their best work. The movie started off great, offering a glimpse into the shaltered life of a child bride, and the awkwardness of arranged royal marriages. The production value is incredible, with elaborate sets and costumes. But after the birth of the very first child, the movie runs out of steam, and by the end, the moviemakers don't even bother about aging the characters. It seems that the exhaustive attantion to detail in the beginning of the film leaves no room for that or even historical accuracy towards the end. A bit disappointing.

This movie was a waste! Why is it that everyone had a foreign accent except the main character - who sounded like she was from the midwest.
Maybe it would have been asking too much for Kirsten Dunst actually "act".
Sofia coppola sure got over with nepotism on this one. After watching this movie I had run to my history books. What a waste!

I can honestly, say that I loved this movie! Absolutely adore it! Now, I've been to movies that were bad. I walked out on Hustle & Flow, barely made it through the remake of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (but still loves Johnny Depp), fell asleep on Jerry Maguire but since have found an appreciation for it on cable television. I can't think of a single movie that I've ever booed, though. Written off, yes? But booing? I thought that was reserved for baseball games.
I loved that Kirsten Dunst was selected to play Marie Antoinette and that the director, Sophia Coppola decided to take a somewhat campy directive with this movie. Marie Antoinette is fun, naive, realistic, a blast and a little cheesy all at the same time. We all know her story from history class but we don't know her story before she was famously beheaded, before she said, 'let them eat cake!' That's what this movie is about and I loved it. Also, here is a list of some of my favorite lines from the movie:
"Who is she?/That woman is here to give the king pleasure."
"Snubbing the king's favorite in your position, is extremely unwise."
"Snubbing the king's favorite is publicly criticizing the king's behavior/Not a good idea. Not with your marriage exactly on solid ground."
"There are a lot of people at Versailles today."
"Those are my last words to that woman."
"Well, she is an Austrian spy and I can't imagine that's very warm in the bedroom."
"I hear she's frigid."
"When will give us an heir?"
"It's barren. What do you expect?"
"Yes, my sweet."
"Your majesty, you have the alliance to consider."
"Where will I be if there's a rupture between our two families? Am I to be Austrian
or the dauphine of France?"
"What do you have for breakfast?/Hot chocolate./Hmm?/HOT CHOCOLATE."
"Look at how fat the Marquis has gotten. I hope he doesn't break the chair." (No, Camille,
he doesn't. Maybe the chair isn't sturdy enough!)
"This is Dmitri. Isn't he divine?/Have you ever been with a Russian? They're so bossy."
Now, go see the movie! I loved it but please, promise me one thing: If you don't enjoy it as much as I did, please don't boo at the end. lol!

I loved the costuming, make-up, set design, & cinematography as a whole as it was all very well done throughout the entire movie.
The acting was so-so.... The rock music sucked entirely as it didn't go at all with this period piece.
The storyline was understated throughout this movie only touching lightly on various important themes/topics involving Marie Antoinette and her life, while vaguely touching upon her role and placement in France as Queen.
The only reason I gave this movie the high marks, is due to the positive features I mentioned at the start of this review. Otherwise this movie version about the life of Marie Antoinette sucked.
