Drama Based on Antonia Fraser's biography of Marie Antoinette, a naive, 14 year old Austrian and Queen of France. At a young age, she was arranged to marry Louis XVI and was very unprepared for the woes of politics. She continued on to be ridiculed by her France, and was decapitated during the French Revolution.

	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Every criticism I have read of this film would alter is fragile magic and reduce its romantic and tragic poignancy to the level of an instructional film (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Carina Chocano Los Angeles Times	"A startlingly original and beautiful pop reverie that comes very close to being transcendent."	POS
United States	Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"The work of a mature filmmaker who has identified and developed a new cinematic vocabulary to describe a new breed of post-postpostfeminist woman."	POS
United States	Dana Stevens The New York Times	"Just because the film's heroine has nothing to say about politics, revolutionary or otherwise, doesn't justify Coppola being similarly dumbstruck."	NEG
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"Those willing to take the film on its own terms will be confronted with a portrait that, while perhaps unsettling in its revisionist sympathies, offers a valid provocation at a time when Americans are debating the costs of isolation"	POS
United Kingdom	Stella Papamichael BBC	"This mightn't be food for the soul, but it is a pleasurable sugar rush."	POS
United States	David Edelstein New York Magazine	"This is one of the most immediate, personal costume dramas ever made"	POS
