Marie Antoinette

00s Drama
2.5 stars

Wonderful sets & costumes, the use of (relatively) modern music with a period piece movie is occasionally inspired, and the outdoor scenes often engage an evocative use of camera. That's the good. This film is about 45 minutes too long, as so much of the action repeats itself and the story itself moves at a snail's pace. I fought the urge to turn it off about 3 times. Some may quibble over the Schwartzman casting, but I thought he was a nice choice.
