Marie Antoinette I liked this film more than I probably should have. It was painfully light- the entire “story” part of the film would have fit into the running time of a sitcom. It’s also full of new rock and roll and I’m not normally a fun of that sort of anachronistic blend. With that sort of handicap, I’m honestly surprised that I liked this film as much as I did. I did enjoy it though. It’s absolutely beautiful, the characters are fascinating (like a carnival sideshow) and the period is, of course, monumental. It should have been better, and could have been with a more substantive approach, but for what it is, I thought it was pretty good.
