For starters, I don't think it's historical accuraccy (Which is already very muddy) should be considered in a review for this movie, rather the movie should be judged by it's artestry and execution alone.
That being said, this movie was GORGEOUS! Almost every frame of this film was a work of art, the costumes, scenery, acting, dialouge was all top notch as espected from the wonderful cast both on and off screen working on this work of art.
Why is it not a 8-10 movie? Well.
My biggest issue with this movie (which is why I give it a 7) was it's choice of music and the way the movie exibited the luxuries of Marie's life. For starters, the choice of music was awful, I felt the contemporary punk-rock choices like "I want candy" when Marie was begining to enduldge in her luxuries was very off place and spoil the magic of this time-piece, also during the second quarter of the movie it felt like the production relied allot on it's awful music choices to push the story forward, laizily pasting montages with this music really took a toll in my opinion of this movie, and for this reason the movie felt allot less elegant till the end.
I'd like to finish on a good note by saying that the begining was flawless and also that towards the end the production relied more on classical music and silence to acompany it's scenes which I felt should have been done from the begining.
TLDR: How can this movie been better?
-Don't use silly contemporary music, rather use classical music (It did not even have to be of the 1800's just not pop and punk rock from the 90's and 2000's.) -Appreciate silence and let the scenes not have as much music, specially with such awful choices for music used at the begining -Instead of poorly executed montages of her clothes eating away at the time, these montages could have been replaced by the cooks making the beautiful food, the architecture and anything else around the gorgeous sets they had to play with.
This movie was amazing to watch and is well worth the time, but it could have been much, much better. Much love and I wish the best for the production and crew in their future projects, they are still very talented, just that they made many poor and un-inspired choices during big parts of this project.
