    Kristen Dunst is pitch-perfect in the title role.

    Precious little history of any kind shows its face in Marie Antoinette. The omission is strategic.

    Three adjectives spring to mind when describing Marie Antoinette: odd, irritating, and tedious.

    Visually ravishing, the film captures the imperial grandeur of 18th century France, animated by the shallow, exquisite creatures of fashion. What dresses! What shoes! Captures excess without cloying or beating us over the heads, Coppola's fresh interpretation remains underrated and misunderstood.… Expand

    Great costume/set designs and a decent performance from Dunst saves this movie from being a total exercise in dullness.

    I may be a bit harsh, but I was bored out of my mind. I stopped the movie, and then read her Wiki entry. It was more fulfilling.
