Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleOther films about Marie Antoinette have had their moments, but Benoît Jacquot's Farewell, My Queen is the first to give a real sense of what it must have felt like to live inside that palace as the walls were caving in.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Manohla DargisBenoît Jacquot's tense, absorbing, pleasurably original look at three days in the life and lies of a doomed monarch.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) - 9/10 by Bob BloomAt 99 minutes, "Farewell My Queen" provides a glimpse into the early stages of the French Revolution, told from the perspective of those who mostly lost their heads because they were too blind to see beyond their own wants and needs.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kenneth TuranMatching the strength of these actresses and their personal drama is the film's masterful sense of time and place - the way it makes us feel that this was how it was during four pivotal days in July 1789 as the wheels came off the French monarchy.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 9/10 by Joe WilliamsRichly photographed and featuring an attractive cast, Farewell, My Queen is a layer cake of royal pleasures, rote protocols and revolutionary politics. For skeptics who thought this story had grown stale, let them eat their words.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertBenoit Jacquot's engrossing film tells a story we know well, seen from a point of view we may not have considered.
Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Jesse CataldoControl is the operative element in Benoît Jacquot's work, with the main caveat being that when someone has it, someone else does not.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Melissa AndersonThe pleasure of Jacquot's film is in watching various strains of discreet, heated, and deluded passionate attachment performed.
Toronto Star - 9/10 by Bruce DemaraJacquot has chosen wisely in casting Léa Seydoux in the key role of Sidonie, whose luminous but watchful eyes suggest a soul wise beyond her years.
The New Republic - 9/10 by Stanley KauffmannThe details of the plot are unimportant: that is the main point made by the skillful director, Benoît Jacquot. It is the slowness with which they realize what is happening that fascinates.
