      Critics Consensus

      Heavily coiffed and perfumed as to cover up its plebeian status, Jeanne Du Barry waltzes aimlessly through a noble attempt at vindicating its eponymous femme.

      Jake Cole Slant Magazine Like the real Countess du Barry, it’s eventually caught up in the very pomp and splendor that it initially lampoons. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 28, 2024 Full Review Danny Leigh Financial Times Most of the actual biographical detail, meanwhile, comes in voiceover, delivered in the tone of a weary Versailles tour guide, still some way from their next cigarette break. Rated: 2/5 Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) It’s a curiously inert affair: constrained, corseted, passionless and saddled with a lumpen, Depp-shaped deadweight where there should be a pulse-racing core of power and desire. Rated: 2/5 Apr 21, 2024 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Beautifully assembled, the film bristles with humour, earthy emotions and a range of vividly well-crafted characters. Rated: 4/5 Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf It is very competently directed, sticks to the well-known facts, although it might send you rushing to Wikipedia, and is more enjoyable than you’d expect. Rated: 3/5 Apr 18, 2024 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com Sumptuous production and period eye candy help make up for the lack of any real plot...Dramatically there’s not all that much to the proceedings, but the thing is gorgeous to look at and Depp is a pleasant presence as he powers into his post-Amber period.
