A waste of good subject matter

Rating: 1/10 (12 August 2010)

This could have been a good movie but it was really disappointing.
The good part beautiful sets and costumes. Dunst is actually not bad and she is Austrian looking as Marie Antoinette was. Judy Davis is good but under used.
The story seems cut short. It would have been better to show her life till the end for some balance and poignancy.
The rock music score is totally wrong. Even if they didn't want a period style biopic - the brash heavy metal sound was just jarring and distracting.
Jason Schwartzman is totally wrong for the king. Nepotism in casting can ruin a movie.
Sophia Coppola has a lot to learn.
