mixed opinion

Rating: 5/10 (20 October 2006)

I'm of mixed opinion when it comes to Marie Antoinette. The movie itself was different from anything I've seen before. There was minimal dialog, yet the storyline, what there was of it, was easily conveyed. The passing of time was not well depicted, but there were moments of humor. For almost every negative aspect, there was a positive aspect that could almost balance it out. However, I was highly disappointed by the ending. There was no clear end to what happened. Unless a person had actually studied french history, there was no way of knowing what happened next. There were many sequences within the movie that could easily have been cut in order to make room for a more complete ending. While I was prepared to the leave the theater with mixed emotions, I instead left feeling disappointed due to the lack of closure.
