A visually scrumptious version of France's iconic but ill-fated Austrian-born queen, Marie Antoinette.

Coppola successfully has made a period film that doesn't feel like a museum piece.

With her third film, Sophia Coppola exhibits an annoying preference for style over substance.

The director squanders a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to film on the grounds and inside the Palace of Versailles. It's the trappings we get, in richly reproduced costumes and all-over gilt furniture, at the expense of any substance.

This gauzy interpretation of the French icon as the life of a decadent paparazzi princess is Versailles via Vogue, a frivolous New Romantic confection in which history is less important than emotional veracity.

Little happens for much of Marie Antoinette, but Coppola is a visual storyteller, and with her first big canvas she creates a giddy world at Versailles in color and light.

It's very pretty and occasionally amusing but also dreadfully dull for long, long stretches.

This could be the story of Paris Hilton if she were to be married off to an impotent French Prince instead of dating meatheads armed with camcorders.

It's history written with truffles.

Coppola's queen experiences no inner transformation or redemption because, in this telling, she's in no need of it. She's cool to begin with.

Stunningly original...The masterstroke of Marie Antoinette is how Coppola connects the social order to sexual servitude.
