100Kristen Dunst is pitch-perfect in the title role.
-
80In the revisionist Marie Antoinette, writer-director Sofia Coppola and actress Kirsten Dunst take a remote and no doubt misunderstood historical figure, the controversial and often despised Queen of France at the time of the French Revolution, and brings her into sharp focus as a living, breathing human being with flaws, foibles, passions, intelligence and warm affections.
-
60Precious little history of any kind shows its face in Marie Antoinette. The omission is strategic.
-
38Three adjectives spring to mind when describing Marie Antoinette: odd, irritating, and tedious.
