sofia coppola: we are going to clear up that marie antoinette did not say "let them eat cake"
set designer: that's cool and all, but shouldn't we take these converse shoes out of the shot
sofia: what is this, a documentary?

if you disagreed with the alt rock soundtrack because it's anachronistic you're probably a boring person to be around

“I’m saying goodbye.”

Sofia Coppola has always known what the fuck she’s doing. She knew what she was doing whenever she wrote this movie, she knew what she was doing when she decided the soundtrack. And by God, she knew exactly what she was doing whenever she directed the fuck out of this. 

And on paper, this movie sounds like it would be a royal mess. A period piece about “The Bad Queen” herself with an alt-rock soundtrack? But, by luck, you add Sofia Coppola’s name to it, and out comes one of the most brutally honest, funny, and surprisingly relatable films I’ve ever seen. It’s been exactly one year since my first viewing of this, but now I can confidently say this is Sofia Coppola’s best film, and one of the best films ever made.

marie antoinette: i have done nothing wrong, ever, in my life.
me: i know this, and i love you.

kirsten dunst could murder everyone in my family and I still wouldn't behead her

jamie dornan has more sex appeal in this than in all of the fifty shades movies

I was thrilled to learn that Marie Antoinette was a fan of The Strokes

when you give teenagers complex regal expectations (including foreign policy and battle command), but no real instruction beyond superficial customs things are gonna go bad, man. people have criticized her for it time and time again but i think there's something deeply fascinating about the way coppola indulges in, and then meditates on, the frivolity of the (french monarch) trust fund kids here--between the systemic artifice of the monarch and how well (and naturally) she wears it, this is a compelling painting of antoinette's superficiality as a tragedy not of her own making... entirely, at least.

movie studio execs: okay so what we’re looking for is a historically accurate biopic about the rise and fall of marie antoinette 

sofia coppola: ok but hear me out...... the color pink

movie studio execs: shit u rite here’s 40 million dollars

this movie is so lovely & sweet & good that it actually made me feel sad for the rich people

i wanna eat this movie

Pretty but way too long

I love me a meandering film but I felt like, at a point, this one kinda lost the thread. I think it was right when the Strokes started playing and I laughed? I didn’t mind the soundtrack before that so idk.

Competently made, but has a deeply flawed screenplay

Love it. Coppola's decision to mix American accents with more vaguely European sounding ones does a greta job of working against the usual pretense of most period pieces. It's the type of movie I wish I could roll around in. Gorgeously shot with some inspired editing. Also, this perhaps has my favorite soundtrack ever? It's not just that I like the songs, but the way they're used, especially in conjunction with the type of classical music you'd expect from this type of film, is just perfect. Kirsten Dunst is beyond perfect for this role and it's easily my favorite performance of hers. Politically, it's really the epitome of white feminism, but beyond that it's a pure treat. I cannot wait to revisit this in years to come.

Groundbreaking, beautiful, amazing, stunning, touching, inspiring. I think this was my 25th viewing since it came out! That’s amore 😚🤌

This a movie about Marie Antoinette that's happening in the 18 century and it had the fucking strokes on the soundtrack.
5 stars.

perfeito

Truth is I finished Bridgerton last night and still wanted more of that ~vibe~ and I saw this on my watchlist so I went for it. Couple of unorganized thoughts. That nothing but the fan and stockings scene was hot. I love the sex appeal of an almost burlesque-y moment. Also, Tom Hardy is in this??? Took me a while to figure it out. And the costume designer Milena Canonero did such a good job. She went on to be the costuming designer for The Grand Budapest Hotel and I just think that’s really cool.

fuckin delightful. i love an anachronistic period piece and i'll die on that hill. the colors, the costumes, the vibes, the elitism ugh cant get enough. i also love when european summers are immortalized in such visceral ways. i'm gonna give it my best to try to get blackout drunk from drinking champagne out of a coupe glass, while wearing a petticoat, and listening to the strokes in a field this year.
i also forgot that marie antoinette was austrian?? my i-got-a-4-on-the-AP-euro-test ass is quaking. in one of the first scenes she has to give up her Pug (named mops which is german for pug) and i was like fuck she was really out here speaking german before she became such an emblematic figure of french culture. u learn somethin new everyday.

being royalty is overrated! 

this is more of a 3.75/5 for me and i don’t know whether that means i should give it 3.5 or 4 stars or none at all. felt like watching more kirsten dunst and this did the trick. beautifully shot.
