Farewell, My Queen Ratings & Reviews
The L Magazine
Ela Bittencourt
It might be that Marie still waits for a true incarnation, but Jacquot's pushing her beyond likeability is refreshing.
Film Comment Magazine
Kristin M. Jones
His portrait loses some of its eerie power through the ugly twist at the film's conclusion, but she remains a fascinating enigma, and touchingly human.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
"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.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
The details of the plot are unimportant: that is the main point made by the skillful director, Benot Jacquot. It is the slowness with which they realize what is happening that fascinates.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Although it was shot at Versailles, and its actors are dressed to the 18th-century nines, Farewell, My Queen has a loose, reportorial intimacy about it.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
The foreboding and chaos contrast neatly with the lavish costumes and sets.
Newsday
John Anderson
We know what will happen, of course, but Jacquot still manages to create tension, as well as a semi-soap opera, among the let-them-cake-eaters of post-Enlightenment France.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
"Farewell, My Queen" is worth a look simply for its look.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
The guillotine's blade is, as yet, nowhere to be heard. But you can feel Jacquot's pleasure is slicing and dicing this material in novel ways.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Jacquot takes a refreshingly understated approach to costume drama, avoiding historical generalizations to focus on the particulars of palace life and the psychological states of individual characters.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Benoit Jacquot's engrossing film tells a story we know well, seen from a point of view we may not have considered.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
It's a strangely unsatisfying combination of bloodless observations and unresolved sexuality. But Diane Kruger's queen, a mature beauty mourning the loss of her youth, is a vivid portrait of willfulness, childishness and genuine neediness.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Jacquot's lavish dcor and costumes are like the perfume the women use instead of bathing: They may cover up the willful carelessness at the center of the project, but it's still there.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Matching 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.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Deftly captures the sense of impending revolution from within the mirrored halls of Versailles.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Benot Jacquot's tense, absorbing, pleasurably original look at three days in the life and lies of a doomed monarch ...
Movieline
Stephanie Zacharek
The experience of watching it is something like lounging on a satin divan, being fanned lazily with a bouquet of ostrich plumes.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Farewell, My Queen has some routine period-drama moments, but at its boldest it foretells a time when a single girl can be a free woman.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Think of it as eating a rather rich piece of cake - even if the real Marie Antoinette never actually did suggest anything of the kind.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
It stays on the surface, but at least that surface is gorgeous.
