Marie Antoinette

Director: Sofia Coppola
Cast: Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Rose Byrne, Judy Davis, Rip Torn

This is a movie that is beautiful to behold, with stunning costuming, casting and scenery. The script leaves something wanting however. At the end of the film you are left knowing that the message wasn't quite told, that the depths of the character's weren't quite expressed. There was a goal in creating this movie, and it wasn't made. The problem is, you can't quite fix where it went wrong.

In the end a fun experience, and a lovely portrayal of Marie Antoinette's life from 15 to 30, but don't expect to be left with any revelations. After all, we already know the end.
