Audience Member Isabelle Huppert is great, but the film itself is soso. Interesting plot and sisuation. Worth seeing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Isabelle Huppert irradie de complexité et de dévotion dans le rôle de Mme de Maintenon. L'ambiance de Saint-Cyr, lumineuse au début du film, se fait de plus en plus oppressante et irrespirable au fur et à mesure que les aspirations de Mme de Maintenon tendent vers une certaine folie rigoriste... En bref, une histoire qui contraste singulièrement avec les ors et les fastes de la cour du Roi-Soleil, auxquels l'on se plaît parfois à réduire son règne. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member She's the Queen!! There's a scene where she was hidding behind a wall and crying all alone by herself.. oh, so heartbreaking... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member musique particulierement interessante et une isabelle hupert toujours aussi parfaite Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Génial!!! Mme de Maintenon me fascine, et la musique est trop bien... le siècle du roi soleil est bien mon préféré! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this film, watched it long ago, but it stayed in my mind for very long, it deals with topics as minute as language to the main subjects such as religion. Beautiful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
