okay we get the point...

Rating: 1/10 (22 October 2006)

Sorry, but I saw this film last night and it reminded me of Groundhog Day, over and over with the same overly luxurious life. I know that she was trying to show the opulence of the time for Royals, but it got a little disgusting frankly. Having been to Versaille I found it very interesting to see the type of life that would have been lead in such a gaudily decorated palace. I stayed for the whole time because I was looking forward to seeing her head get chopped off; and was even let down on that. Yes, it was a "visual delight" for the first few minutes, but beautiful pastries and gowns do not a riveting plot make. Although I will say that I am usually not a Kirsten Dunst fan (with the exception of Drop Dead Gorgeous) she actually did quite well at showing the insipid, selfish nature of Marie Antoinettte. I was dumber for having stayed the whole time. Sorry if you disagree, but that is just my opinion.
