Kudos for settings and costuming. That's where it ends. Actually, Kirsten did do a good job of portraying a flighty, self-absorbed young girl who is is not really cut out for the serious responsibilities of Queenship. Her transformation into a Queenly older woman, however, is far too swift, making it unbelievable. For me, the greatest irritation comes from the musical score. What brilliant person came up with the idea of using very modern music in an 18th Century historical film? It was always jarring, making the scene laughable. There are definitely better made Marie Antoinette films out there, I have no doubt.
