If nothing else, "Queen Marie" proves that the Romanian industry can churn out stodgy, attractively decorated Europuddings with the best of them, but it's hard to see who the audience for this multilingual snoozer might be.

Romania has delivered some of the most bracing filmmaking of the past 20 years... but "Queen Marie" shows that its cinematic output also extends to stiff, exposition-clotted biopics.

Queen Marie may not be a modern historical classic, but its wink-of-the-eye moments subtly inform the audience about the filmmakers intent. That, I can appreciate.

The weight of the film is on Rosana Lupu and she does it well.

Queen Marie proves to be a decent enough entry point into the woman at this particular moment in her life.

Based on a true story, I am guessing that the actual story is more interesting than the way it is presented in this film.

I read Queen Marie's autobiography and found the movie interesting. Her life continued to be quite dramatic beyond the point where the movie ends. I therefore expected a short summarized reference to the rest of her life to appear before the movie's credits.

It's a straightforward case that highlights the period's awful misogyny while also honouring Marie's early feminism and bravery, as well as her tireless efforts on behalf of a country that wasn't hers by blood but by her spirit and hearth.
