The Queen of Versailles is one of the best films of the year, nonfiction or otherwise.

| Mar 10, 2021

[Jackie's] story can show the ways in which the economic crisis can bring out not only the hierarchical differences that divide us, but the hopes and flaws that unite us.

| Jan 11, 2021

The Queen of Versailles is an exceptional, must-watch film that's better reality 온라인카지노추천 than most reality television. We need more documentaries-and more reality television-like this.

Even if you're on a budget, it will be money well spent to see this Must See Festival Film.

The Siegels are fascinating because they both are and aren't us, and the film's pleasures are correspondingly-a la reality tv-made up of equal parts jealousy, sympathy, and schadenfreude.

| Aug 28, 2019

The Queen of Versailles is a deliriously enjoyable documentary, a warning about the ridiculous hubris of the American Dream, and how, like the trap of traditions, may very well be a nightmare.

It's this turn of events that transforms The Queen of Versailles into a surprisingly empathetic look at Jackie Siegel as everything around her begins to crumble.

| Original Score: 7.3/10 | Jul 3, 2019

As a car-crash depiction of the strained relationships of a family fixated with the accumulation of wealth and possessions however, the film is as mesmerising as it is shocking.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 2, 2019

Were this not a documentary, it would all play out like a lazy satire as the easy ironies pile up.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 6, 2018

The excess is astonishing and infuriating... but a very specialized slice of Americana that proves nobody is untouchable, there's no life too big to tear down.

| Nov 16, 2018

[Director Lauren] Greenfield's gaze somehow synthesizes ridicule and compassion in a way that elevates her film above superficially similar reality 온라인카지노추천 shows like the Real Housewives franchise.

The Siegels do have their little place in history; not, as Siegel claims, as a man whose deep pockets helped George W. Bush get elected, but as a cautionary tale.

| Aug 30, 2018

Greenfield's affection for her subjects ensures that they never remain the victims of their own story for long - Jackie herself is ceaselessly likable despite her tone-deaf ditziness.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 21, 2018

Be prepared to find yourself trying to find sympathy and compassion for the Siegels.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 21, 2017

An ultimately haunting worst-case-scenario for Americans living beyond their means after the bottom dropped out.

Full Review | May 3, 2015

A pretty effective warning shot across the bow of the one percenters.

| Original Score: 70/100 | Jan 12, 2014

Humanizes the upper one percent in a 100-percent entertaining way.

| Original Score: A- | May 26, 2013

Strangely entertaining and revealing documentary about a culture obsessed with money and people aspiring to a life they can't afford. Greed is good once again if you can borrow enough money to consume all you desire. Mind the debt gap.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 22, 2013

...their plight plays like the financial crisis in miniature. Or perhaps it's in macro.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 15, 2012
