It seems as though Sofia Coppola had a great idea for a movie and then got sidetracked with thoughts like, Cute shoes! Pretty dresses! Yummy cakes! New Wave music, yeah!
Who knows, maybe that was her intention, but this movie is definitely not her best work. It's worth seeing for the costume work and the set (apparently she is the first director ever allowed to film in the actual Palace of Versailles). But other than that, it was boring, acting was unimpressive, and the portrayal of Marie Antoinette isn't very believable--maybe even inaccurate.
I'll take your word for it. Maybe I'll see it when it comes on HBO.
