A portrait of Marie Antoinette, a naïve teenager who was entirely unprepared to take her place in the turbulent history of late 18th century France. The Austrian born princess was sent off to Versailles at 14, where she was lost in the rigid etiquette, brutal family infighting and merciless gossip of the French royal court. Forced to live her life in the unforgiving glare of the public spotlight, she found her escape in the sensual pleasures of youth. But her frivolity unwittingly made her the object of scandal and a convenient scapegoat for a society on the verge of revolution. –Cannes Film Festival

Although the props and visuals were terrific, Kirsten Dunst did nothing to be on par with the cinematography.

Visually stunning but bogged down by a less-than-stellar script and a disappointing final act.

It is an eye candy, in the truest sense of the word. Although there was one scene that really won me over, i.e, when Kirsten Dunst's Marie Antoinette breaking down in a closed apartment, her emotions taking over, brought upon by deceit, betrayal, and being alone in a Strangeland. Come to think of it, the Viennese court and its majesties were far too modest compared to their French counterpart. At least in those days
