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

The illustrious juxtapositions of gorgeous settings and costumes, unexpected casting and a beguiling congruence of sensibilities are the strengths of Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, despite the royal cake ending up as misfire and cooked too long at the

This could be the story of Paris Hilton if she were to be married off to an impotent French Prince instead of dating meatheads armed with camcorders.

A visually scrumptious version of France's iconic but ill-fated Austrian-born queen, Marie Antoinette.
12/17/07
Coppola successfully has made a period film that doesn't feel like a museum piece.
07/14/07
The very antithesis of the traditional historical film, approaching its material as an accepted present.

Marie Antoinette functions less as a film than a two-hour music video for Sofia Coppola's mix tape of favorite songs.

Sofia Coppola has sacrificed a compelling storyline in exchange for aimless atmospherics.

For two hours, we are treated to a display of prettiness. It's like one big elaborate meringue, delicate and intricately decorated, but without much past the surface.

As a serious film, only an American could love Marie Antoinette. To the French, it must be gravely insulting. As an unwitting camp, it may have a great future.

Marie Antoinette - based on you know who's life - has been voted by us here at SA Movie & DVD as the movie most likely to disappoint audiences this year . . .
03/12/07
This is no stuffy historical drama but an off-kilter novelty, opulent and spare at the same time, isolating the viewer as Marie herself was isolated from the harsh reality outside the palace walls.

Missing from the special features is a commentary of the film by its director. But, if you have ever heard Sofia talk, you can see why the DVD makers omitted this...

Coppola fonce la tête haute, plus confiante que jamais, parfois même un peu trop
01/31/07
Sofia Coppola arroja una mirada fresca y contemporánea (incluso desde la banda sonora) sobre la figura de María Antonieta; quienes busquen rigor histórico, o se incomoden con las libertades que suelen tomarse los artistas, deberían abstenerse.
