I saw the movie on Friday when it came out and I was very disappointed. It isn't so much a movie but a bunch of scenes with music in the background. The movie's only saving grace are the splendid costumes.

Most of the reviews have criticised the movie for being superficial and concentrating on appearance and costume.
Whilst it would be interesting to see a film with historical depth, sometimes it's enjoyable to watch a period drama that is light and frothy. After all, we all know what happened to her so I'm glad the film is concentrating on the "fun" side. I'll probably see it, but only for the costumes which I've heard are magnificent.

Besides the costumes, I did think using actual paintings of Marie Antoinette in the movie was pretty interesting especially since I studied them in Art History.

This is a woman who was basically thrown into an arranged marriage, and at such a young age. Some of her actions were not the best to act on, but I can understand her position with being so young...and then being Queen of France not to long after. Nobody can really label this woman as anything, because only those that had the honor to know her will know her and label her.

The movie was okay but I think I just enjoyed the costumes and shoes the most. I have a question, maybe even a silly one, but does anyone know today who the living descendents are of this family? Did Marie's daughter ever have children ? Confusing........

I saw the movie, and it was great. However, historically speaking, this movie was made to show Marie-Antoinette's perspective through her sheltered world. I didn't think Kristin Dunstin could pull it off, but she was pretty convincing. For anyone who loves royalty itself, will enjoy this movie. Oh, and keep a watch for the blue sneakers!

Unfortunately, those of us in Australia who wish to see the film must wait until Boxing Day (I really dont like the difference in release dates compared to the States and Europe) this year

This new Marie Antionette film is a remake of the 1938 film I don't know who were the orinigal cast but I look and find it out.And as for Marie Antionette it is hard to gain the trust of people when your a foreigner from another country and a totally other royal family then learning a whole different lanuage that is a lot to absorb in such a small amount of time what a world wind for her.

I can't wait for this movie to come out in Australia - Boxing Day! I also have to wait that long for 'The Queen' to come out. They both come out on the same day in Australia.
I've heard rave reviews and bad reviews for this movie, it seems like one of those movies everyone has a different opinion. I suppose I'll just have to wait to see it to make up my mind!

I haven't seen this movie... but I have often wondered how the Empress Maria Theresa could have mothered such an incompetent daughter. Maybe the answer is lack of actual contact between the Empress and her children.

I watched the movie and I enjoyed the costumes and the music -- but I would have preferred that they were independent of each other. I knew that Copolla meant for it to be artsy (and it was the curiosity of how she was going to pull it enticed me to watch the movie); but in the end, I am still a traditionalist at heart. It was quite an experience though to be able to think that you've gone to 2 different movies when you: close your eyes and just listen to the sound VS. concentrate in the visuals and defean yourself from the music.
Beyond the style... if it was the movie's intention to portray events from Marie Antoinette's perspective, I am not surprised that they did not show scenes from the streets... IMO, I think that that in itself allowed Copolla to show how detached Marie Antoinette was from the life outside of Versailles.
