Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life Aug 25 One of the greatest historical stories ever brought to the big screen. The characters and the portrayals are crazy good. Hilary Swank is amazing and the costumes were beautiful and looked great on the actors. Although we only see Hayden Panetttiere for a short time she did a fine job.

Christopher Walken is the only credible character in this sad and boring adaptation of one of the really important stories of the French Revolution. Hilary Swank just doesn’t cut it and along with Simon Baker are badly miscast. It is 23 years old but the script belongs in the 50’s. Don’t waste your time or money.

Yet another sociological take on the excess that led to the French Revolution. And yet, the movie is somehow flat. It is okay watching. But it really could have been done better See more 02/06/2016 I only gave this two stars because the costumes and scenery was well done. As someone who respects and appreciates history, I was appalled at the absurd depiction of a known thief, liar, and prostitute (Hilary Swanks character) twisted to be a victim. Jeanne De La Motte was manipulative, conniving, and low class. In real life, her father was a drunkard, her mother a maid, and her only claim to royalty was speculative. I could not feel sorry for her character and the vilification of Marie Antoinette was also false. Hilary Swank was awkward a and to claim this story as true is about as successful as this movie did in the theater See more 10/18/2014 I'm not sure why I never saw this movie. I enjoyed it. The intrigue kept me engaged throughout. See more Read all reviews
