Coppola's queen experiences no inner transformation or redemption because, in this telling, she's in no need of it. She's cool to begin with.

The director squanders a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to film on the grounds and inside the Palace of Versailles. It's the trappings we get, in richly reproduced costumes and all-over gilt furniture, at the expense of any substance.

Coppola successfully has made a period film that doesn't feel like a museum piece.

This could be the story of Paris Hilton if she were to be married off to an impotent French Prince instead of dating meatheads armed with camcorders.

With her third film, Sophia Coppola exhibits an annoying preference for style over substance.

It's very pretty and occasionally amusing but also dreadfully dull for long, long stretches.

A visually scrumptious version of France's iconic but ill-fated Austrian-born queen, Marie Antoinette.

It's history written with truffles.

Little happens for much of Marie Antoinette, but Coppola is a visual storyteller, and with her first big canvas she creates a giddy world at Versailles in color and light.

Stunningly original...The masterstroke of Marie Antoinette is how Coppola connects the social order to sexual servitude.

This gauzy interpretation of the French icon as the life of a decadent paparazzi princess is Versailles via Vogue, a frivolous New Romantic confection in which history is less important than emotional veracity.
