Critics Consensus

Lavish imagery and a daring soundtrack set this film apart from most period dramas; in fact, style completely takes precedence over plot and character development in Coppola's vision of the doomed queen.

Whatever the film's structural failings and historical gaps, it's great to see such a distinctive directorial vision coming out of Hollywood.

...an ambitious, affecting, truly distinctive piece of work, albeit one that will tell you more about 1780s footwear than about the causes and effects of the French Revolution.

Drawn from Antonia Fraser's biography - or riffing on it - this slyly seditious comedy escorts sacred verities of French history and culture to the scaffold.

There is a certain solemnity in its costume design and art direction, but as a biopic it barely scratches the surface and lacks narrative depth in its fable about the flamboyant monarch. [Full review in Spanish]

Marie Antoinette has flaws, but still remains a good enough film with tremendous set and costume design. Add in Kirsten Dunst and her performance in the title role and you have something that a lot of audiences can enjoy

... a rock and roll version of history, scored entirely with pop music and reflected through Coppola’s modern sensibilities, at once compassionate and savagely critical of the kids on the throne.

¿How could you not enjoy this in the first place?. The clothing design, soundtrack and the dialogue loved the plot as well one of the most interesting history movie I've ever seen in a while. Definitely must watch it more than once!

Critiques consensus on point. Can't believe this light-hearted movie received $60 million. The Guillotine should be used on studio heads and producers. I understand it probably assisted 100s of children indirectly from the business of making this film. The $60 million could have been used to assist 1000s of less fortunate children with $60 thousand each. Sorry cast and crew; I like all of you from a fans point of view.

A great movie about Marie Antoinette. It was nice to see France and practice my French. The architecture and costumes were neat. There is a scene of her marriage.
