    For a costumer Coppola separates herself from the pack with, f'instance, rock music interludes (in the pre-Revolutionary French court ... !!! ... "shocking!"), and unusual glimpses into the beyond decadent lives of the rich and famous (which Sofia herself might be well versed in)... read more but she is an unseasoned writer and only there does this gorgeous, beautifully shot work falter. Worth a look, an artist in the making.

    Director: Sofia Coppola

    Summary: Sof... read moreia Coppola directs a stylized portrait of Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst), the naive Austrian princess who married Louis XVI (Jason Schwartzman) to become queen of France at age 19. The film explores the effects of a luxurious yet terribly confining lifestyle on the young queen.

    My Thoughts: "Marie Antoinette is a perfect example of being a young girl with loads of money and nothing but time on her hands. In which the inevitable is bound to happen. Girl gets bored and parties and spends and spends. Which in this case, along with her husbands bad business choices, led to the Queens downfall. The movie is beautifully made and is quite beautiful on it's own with it's many fabulous costumes and the great scenery. The acting is quite good as well. I really liked the unique style they put on this period piece by not using the typical music of that time. The only thing that wasn't up to par with this film was the dialogue. It fell flat in some parts. It was also slow at times with unnecessary shots that lasted much longer then needed. There was too much time spent on the scenery when it should have been spent on the story."

    Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette is really something unique to see. I thought it was a very good take on the usual historical content, and it has many original elements to this film that some would find out of place. But as for me, I thought those elements were quite interesting.... read more The use of rock music for the soundtrack made it intriguing. This was terrific, a well acted movie with a great cast and good story. The film is a bit weird because of the modern music playing, but once you realize how it fits with the context of the film, you realize even more that the film stands out above every other films of this stature because of it. This is a phenomenal film that has a well plotted story. The performances are wonderful and Kirsten Dunst is wonderful as Marie Antoinette. The film is an incredible drama film that will most likely appeal to fans of period pieces. This film shouldn't be dismissed because of the use of rock music; in fact I loved the use of it. That's why the film is so different from other period pieces. This is a well crafted film with wonderful performances, a good story and great directing. As far as period pieces are concerned, Marie Antoinette is a bold new addition to the genre, one that is different, but works very well because of its engaging story. This is a film that you shouldn't miss out on. A wonderful period piece that delivers something refreshing to a viewer. As a film fan that enjoys films such as Elizabeth, Barry Lyndon and The Count of Monte Cristo; I thought that this film was brilliant, almost perfect, and very entertaining despite the fact that it's slow.

    If you don't know the heavy life of 14 years young Marie Antoinette, you will probably not be able to appreciate this impressionistic movie of her life as she might have perceived it. I recommend first netflixing PBS's outstanding documentary to get the best experience you can.

    On one hand you have a beautiful looking film (great costumes, sets), a stellar lead performance from Dunst, and a pretty awesome soundtrack... On the other you have a film that is overlong, sluggishly paces, and just utterly dry (almost boring) in spots.

    Not quite the historical dramedy one would hope, the film brings Marie's real life excess to its production value, forgetting plot along the way, or timing. Mostly a mishmash of gossip and heresay, the film is hinged on Dunst, who would be better suited whipping around with Spide... read morerman than taking on a royal monarch.

    Set in beautiful Versailles in 18th century, Kirsten gives a good performance as the teenage Queen of France. Her self-indulgence - parties, cakes and clothes is just typical of the French court, but she is blamed for the state of the economy and somehow the peasants revolt and o... read moreverthrow the monarchy. I think that she got bad press. I felt the writing was poor and needed more explanation e.g. why was the King not interested in his Queen? Why did the peasants blame her and not the King or the court? I also thought the last scene was pointless, it didn't explain what happened to the Royal family. If you like pink, cakes and airy fairy pretty stuff, this movie is pleasing to the eye, but if you are looking for a history lesson go to the library.

    This film redeemed Sofia Coppola for me. It might have been kinda slow paced, but the visual was just so pretty, I couldn't care. It never gets too dark or gritty, but the simple lightly color of the film blends with the French Rococo art.

It's very pretty and occasionally amusing but also dreadfully dull for long, long stretches. Full Review

The director squanders a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to film on the grounds and inside the Palace of Versailles. It's the trappings we get, in richly reproduced costumes and all-over gilt furniture... Full Review

Coppola's queen experiences no inner transformation or redemption because, in this telling, she's in no need of it. She's cool to begin with. Full Review

With lyrical intelligence and scrappy wit, Coppola creates a luscious world to get lost in. It's a pleasure.
