What to Know

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.

Whatever the film's structural failings and historical gaps, it's great to see such a distinctive directorial vision coming out of Hollywood. Go to Full Review Jonathan Romney Independent on Sunday 04/01/2019
...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. Go to Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times 04/01/2019
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. Go to Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia Feb 15
5/10
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] Go to Full Review Branyan Towe Loud and Clear Reviews 07/29/2024
3.5/5
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 Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 04/08/2023
... 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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tomm G Aug 8 ¿How could you not enjoy this in the first place?. The clothing design, soundtrack and the dialogue loved the plot as well one of the most interesting history movie I've ever seen in a while. Definitely must watch it more than once! See more John F Jun 19 Silly, shallow and a complete waste of time. See more May 20 Critiques consensus on point. Can't believe this light-hearted movie received $60 million. The Guillotine should be used on studio heads and producers. I understand it probably assisted 100s of children indirectly from the business of making this film. The $60 million could have been used to assist 1000s of less fortunate children with $60 thousand each. Sorry cast and crew; I like all of you from a fans point of view. See more Will G May 17 A great movie about Marie Antoinette. It was nice to see France and practice my French. The architecture and costumes were neat. There is a scene of her marriage. See more Jerod S Apr 6 The soundtrack and colors infuse life into the period drama and maybe left the character development a little....undeveloped. Judy Davis needed more. See more Ian M Mar 31 Very underrated. History from the perspective of a child bride. See more Read all reviews
