Looks like the critics are divided on Sophia Coppola’s new movie, “Marie Antoinette”. Some early reviews are calling the movie’s loosely adherence to the facts nothing more then a mish-mash of pop confetti, while others are calling it’s offbeat style, costumes and production design opulent and beautiful.

MA the movie’s blurbs:

From the imagination of Oscar winning writer/director Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation) comes a vibrant retelling of the classic story of Marie Antoinette, the naive Austrian princess, who is thrown into the scandal-ridden world of the French aristocracy when she is betrothed to King Louis XVI. While still a teenager, Marie Antoinette conquers her fears and becomes France’s iconic queen.

Regardless of what the critics say, I’m sure it will be an art house fav… besides, the soundtrack alone is worth the 10 bucks to go see it — Viva La Pop!
