MARIE ANTOINETTE [2006] review

I was with this movie for most of its first half. Then it became totally about nothing and highly repetitive and it was no longer enjoyable watching Kirsten Dunst play MARIE ANTOINETTE. I just kept thinking what time do these people wake up in the morning to put on that many clothes? Must have been an ungodly hour. And why was her husband always gone from the bed before she woke up? And it didn’t even look like she woke up in the same bed she went to sleep in.

I didn’t care at all about the film’s historical accuracy or lack thereof as I have no idea what it should be. Hell, I didn’t even remember she got killed until 3/4ths of the movie.

A very pretty film, but I see no reason for it to exist.
