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]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Feb 15, 2025

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

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 29, 2024

... 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.

Marie becomes indiscreet, a party girl, drenched in the decadence of gowns, wigs, shoes, champagne and all manner of cookies and cake.. Coppola is self-aware: as a child of privileged American movie royalty with many friends in fashion...

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 18, 2022

Using Zweig's biography of Marie Antoinette and Fraser's essay on the queen, Coppola makes a risky and contemporary film that dares to look within such a complex character leaving... everything else on the other side of the walls. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 20, 2022

Marie Antoinette is a sumptuous and succulent feast of eye-candy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2020

The film's decadence and opulence as well as all the details in décor, costumes, wigs, etc is fascinating and shows that Coppola had a true vision for it ...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 11, 2020

Marie Antoinette is a decadent delight.

A brief visit to the life of marie antoinette and his youth. A really good audiovisual and aesthetic exercise. Worth it. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 16, 2019

Coppola has crafted a magical, intoxicating film, distinctly her own, that cements her place as one of the most exciting and original new voices in American film.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 6, 2019

The sneakers, post-punk soundtrack, and winking acknowledgement aside, working from a biography by Antonia Fraser, Coppola is surprisingly true to historical fact, and somewhat warmly admiring of the infamous teen queen.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 2, 2019

Marie Antoinette is in no way a historical film -- it's a wispy but nonetheless brilliant cutout of a girl who just wanted to have fun. But at the end of the day and in the relative privacy of her bathtub, she would give way to a unnamed sadness.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 1, 2019

Coppola's queen incarnates excess; her royal privilege is to get lost in the superficial pleasure of the moment. And that's exactly what Marie Antoinette offers its audience.

| Apr 1, 2019

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

| Apr 1, 2019

...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.

| Apr 1, 2019

Marie Antoinette may have too much cake and not enough revolution but for the most part it is fun. Just leave your prejudices at the door.

| Apr 1, 2019

It's high-caloric art-house moviemaking, full of pastry-coated, sugar-swirled ideas and historical moments dipped in candy.

| Apr 1, 2019

The film is ravishing to look at, thanks to the production team's unprecedented access to Versailles, but its frothy charm eventually wears thin.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2019

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.

| Apr 1, 2019

Marie Antoinette is about confinement in a gilded cage, and, perversely or not, shows itself far more interested in the cage than in the prisoner.
