Marie Antoinette

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Lavish imagery and a daring soundtrack set this film apart from most period dramas; in fact, style completely takes precedence over plot and character development in Coppola's vision of the doomed queen.

Whatever the film's structural failings and historical gaps, it's great to see such a distinctive directorial vision coming out of Hollywood. Go to Full Review
Jonathan Romney Independent on Sunday Apr 1, 2019
...an ambitious, affecting, truly distinctive piece of work, albeit one that will tell you more about 1780s footwear than about the causes and effects of the French Revolution. Go to Full Review
Nigel Andrews Financial Times Apr 1, 2019
Drawn from Antonia Fraser's biography - or riffing on it - this slyly seditious comedy escorts sacred verities of French history and culture to the scaffold. Go to Full Review
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo Jun 16, 2026
Coppola’s not interested in recreating or contextualizing or even portraying big moments in history. She’s interested in unpacking the world through a privileged young woman’s eyes and exploring how she navigates power, expectations, and betrayals. Go to Full Review

5/10
There is a certain solemnity in its costume design and art direction, but as a biopic it barely scratches the surface and lacks narrative depth in its fable about the flamboyant monarch. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Jska T @RT01854837 23 hrs ago It is the prime of example of Americans applying their own "culture" to a foreign historical event/personality..... Horrible. The music is especially horrible, what the hell is it? Modern country-like music in a historical drama? Are you serious? Once again we are back at: European history coated with an American cream. The whole movie got me feeling like: An American girl stuck in a Austrian archduchess's body. See more Zachary S @Zach154 1 day ago What a beautifully looking film from the cinematography to the costumes and production design. Kirsten Dunst is wonderful as ever but props to Sofia Coppola as the director. See more Robert P @Superbad 3 days ago Marie Antoinette is a *3* star Movie! See more Ron B @stellaspal Oct 6, 2026 Fun and beautiful, and that goes a long way with me. I’ve seen a lot worse in the last 20 years. See more Henry D @Henry_Domke Aug 10, 2026 Astonishingly opulent visually. Milena Canonero deserved her Oscar for the costumes, but the elaborate hair, magnificent sets, and cinematography were nearly as impressive. There is a long list of fine actors in supporting roles, but the film belongs to Kirsten Dunst, who does a fine job. Only two things disappointed us. Much of the music was horrible and inappropriate, and the film was available only in HD. A movie this visually sumptuous needs 4K. See more Gargantua P @Geulah26 Aug 6, 2026 A masterpiece It baffles me that beauty can be so under-appreciated.It's not a question of "custom design".It's the sheer constant lavish display of color,harmonised forms,the actual gaiety reflected in practically every outfit.There is also much genuine emotion, both in celebration and grief.Kirsten Dunst has been a favourite actress ever since Melancholia. I must be a rare bird that watched it three times.Her performance as MA is stunning in its subtlety and coherence.Sofia Coppola is a master,her own whimsical,original creator.What a feast! It's inexplicable to me how rigidly focused on "history " many of the critics are.Even as most surely must have learned a thing or two.The music brings surprises that can hardly be criticised.Most of it is stylistically and period truthful,and when a modern orchestra magnificently bursts in,in all its brass splendour,it fits brilliantly with the grandeur of the coronation moment,also so apt in a scene of twirling comical group party dancing.
