Don't watch this if you want a history lesson

Rating: 3/10 (5 May 2019)

I've read "positive" reviews of this bubble-headed film that claim that its very superficiality is the "point." We are supposed to "infer: the film's version of Marie Antoinette's indifference to life beyond the walls of Versailles, yet the film doesn't really ask us to do that because we never see it. We can't really make a judgement on the reality of the Prince Prospero existence the nobility live in and the misery without. This is just fun and games with a little court intrigue thrown in until, suddenly, Marie and company have to leave Versailles because of some angry people on the way. Why are they angry? Who knows? What happens after that? Nothing. The movie just ends. The most interesting parts of the story are completely ignored.
