Ann Hornaday

Coppola brilliantly conjures the young queen's insular world, in which she was both isolated and claustrophobically scrutinized. Read full review

Steven Rea

A gorgeous confection, packed with gargantuan gowns and pornographic displays of pastrystuffs, Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette is also a sharp, smart look at the isolation, ennui and supercilious affairs of the rich, famous and famously pampered. Read full review

Stephanie Zacharek

Coppola captures the luxe insularity of Marie Antoinette's world in a way that leaves no doubt why the revolution had to happen. The picture's final image is a moment of devastating stillness that wouldn't be out of place in Luchino Visconti's end-of-an-era masterpiece "The Leopard." Read full review

David Edelstein

This is one of the most immediate, personal costume dramas ever made, and so it's not unseemly to consider how the writer-director and her heroine overlap. Read full review

J. Hoberman

A graceful, charming, and sometimes witty confection -- at least for its first hour. Read full review

Michael Sragow

Despite the dominant air of foolishness, the filmmaking is lush, lively and intelligent, but the gap between the direction and the script is appalling. Read full review

Pete Vonder Haar

Reports of boos at the film's debut at Cannes are more understandable now, not because Marie Antoinette is an inaccurate or indifferent look at French history (it is), but because it's self-indulgent shit. Booing - and beheading - are too good for it. Read full review

A movie fit for a queen. Refreshing, bold, and simply brilliant.
