Critics Consensus

Lavish imagery and a daring soundtrack set this film apart from most period dramas; in fact, style completely takes precedence over plot and character development in Coppola's vision of the doomed queen.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Whatever the film's structural failings and historical gaps, it's great to see such a distinctive directorial vision coming out of Hollywood.

Independent on Sunday

...an ambitious, affecting, truly distinctive piece of work, albeit one that will tell you more about 1780s footwear than about the causes and effects of the French Revolution.

Nigel Andrews

Financial Times

Drawn from Antonia Fraser's biography - or riffing on it - this slyly seditious comedy escorts sacred verities of French history and culture to the scaffold.

Cinefilia

There is a certain solemnity in its costume design and art direction, but as a biopic it barely scratches the surface and lacks narrative depth in its fable about the flamboyant monarch. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 5/10

Loud and Clear Reviews

Marie Antoinette has flaws, but still remains a good enough film with tremendous set and costume design. Add in Kirsten Dunst and her performance in the title role and you have something that a lot of audiences can enjoy

Rated: 3.5/5

... a rock and roll version of history, scored entirely with pop music and reflected through Coppola’s modern sensibilities, at once compassionate and savagely critical of the kids on the throne.

The soundtrack and colors infuse life into the period drama and maybe left the character development a little....undeveloped. Judy Davis needed more.

De no ser por la estética maravillosa y la extraordinaria atención al detalle del set el vestuario, y soundtrack no hubiese sido el icono de la cultura pop que es la película hoy en día. La superficialidad en el guion y en los acontecimientos históricos no terminaron de convencerme.

Um filme de drama histórico retratando com simpatia e alegria, a pobi da Antonieta, mas também um tanto de futilidade, assim como o rei, sem personalidade, pouco interessado em mulheres e alheio a quase tudo, além de serem esbanjadores, o que deve ter sido bem realista. Entretanto, grande produção de Sofia Coppola com muita riqueza e luxo, perfeição define bem a película. Destaque a atuação perfeita da lindíssima Kirsten Dunst, mas deveria ter colocado uma atriz de 14 anos para ser realista.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Eu gosto desse filme, sou apaixonada nos cenarios nos figurinos, mas não e um bom filme para contar a historia da antonieta nunca é explorado a fundo a historia, poderiam ter falado mais quando ela perdeu o bebê.

Buena música, buena reconstrucción de época, gran dirección, buenos actores mi única queja sería que cuando ocurren lo de las turbas se sintió medió una película de época genérica
