Review: Marie Antionette




I watched the DVD "Marie Antoinette" last night. We chose the film because we will be visiting Versailles in less than two weeks. I felt like we should have at least a small knowledge of the place. The movie has been touted as "Gidget in Versailles," so I thought it would be interesting. In general, the movie is very boring. It is slow, with very little plot points. Kirsten Dunst shines in her role, though. She is perfect for the role of Marie Antionette, and does a great job playing the spender, the young, fun queen. I think that the movie was slow because it focused on the historical aspect of Marie Antoinette and her life, rather than taking a major plot issue and making a big deal of it. All in all, this is a great movie for historical purposes, but not so great if you want an interesting movie.
