    also, for the "style over substance" comments, i think that was the point. her life was entirely vacuous and filled with ridiculous rituals, money, frivolity...while france was in despair.

    the movie is basically about her world and your glimpse of it. seeing it that way, it makes it obvious to understand why she was completely clueless about anything important.

    most of the reviews are burning coppola for essentially not creating a documentary...it being "all fluff" etc. if they got why this was done and thought of the perspective in terms of a spoiled, cloistered 18th century mentality, they might get the movie.
