Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
As we follow her through the monarchy's abrupt collapse, "Farewell, My Queen" gives us intimate, unflaggingly energetic history as seen from the servants' quarters.

fresh:
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.

fresh:
The details of the plot are unimportant: that is the main point made by the skillful director, Benoit Jacquot. It is the slowness with which they realize what is happening that fascinates.

fresh:
"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.

fresh:
Jacquot has chosen wisely in casting Lea Seydoux in the key role of Sidonie, whose luminous but watchful eyes suggest a soul wise beyond her years.
