You Have to Show Historical Climax!

Rating: 7/10 (16 March 2018)

I liked it, and was entranced despite filler scenes and occasional lapses in dramatic punch. But to coyly deprive us of the beheading really takes the cake, pardon the pun. The attempt at profundity by showing Marie's empty bedroom only heightens the immense dramatic error of what really happened to this lady. It COULD have been nominated for Best Pic if they had done that. Alas, huge miscalculation on filmmakers' part. Still, a visual eye-fest, and I appreciated the low-key, matter-of-fact approach.
