The doomed queen falls flat, but in a most stunning way!

Rating: 7/10 (1 May 2019)

The all-style-no-substance approach Sofia Coppola took worked impressively, and enticingly, well up till half of its runtime. The lack of a developed script then begins to hamper my enjoyment of the movie, as it gradually becomes monotonous. And at its third act, Marie Antoinette falls .... flat! But at least the third act showcases the movie's relentless eye candy through some of the most dazzling colorful landscapes and costumes my eyes have ever had the pleasure to witness!
