Watch Farewell, My Queen Movie Online No Survey

Watch Farewell, My Queen Movie Online No Survey Farewell, My Queen marks the return of acclaimed director Benoît Jacquot and brilliantly captures the passions, debauchery, occasional glimpses of nobility and ultimately the chaos that engulfed the court of Marie Antoinette in the final days before the full-scale outbreak of the Revolution. Based on the best-selling novel by Chantal Thomas, the film stars Léa Seydoux as one of Marie's ladies-in-waiting, seemingly an innocent but quietly working her way into her mistress's special favors, until history tosses her fate onto a decidedly different path. With the action moving effortlessly from the gilded drawing rooms of the nobles to the back quarters of those who serve them, this is a period film at once accurate and sumptuous in its visual details and modern in its emotions. -- (C) Cohen Release Date Farewell, My Queen Jul 13, 2012 Limited

Review For Farewell, My Queen
Jacquot has chosen wisely in casting Léa Seydoux in the key role of Sidonie, whose luminous but watchful eyes suggest a soul wise beyond her years. Bruce Demara-Toronto Star The details of the plot are unimportant: that is the main point made by the skillful director, Benoît Jacquot. It is the slowness with which they realize what is happening that fascinates. Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic 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. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer 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. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune The foreboding and chaos contrast neatly with the lavish costumes and sets. Stephanie Merry-Washington Post We know what will happen, of course, but Jacquot still manages to create tension, as well as a semi-soap opera, among the let-them-cake-eaters of post-Enlightenment France. John Anderson-Newsday The complex triangle at the dark heart of his film, set against the surging social change of a nation, makes for both a superb historical epic and a compelling human drama. Simon Foster-sbs.com.au The film shows both sides of the social spectrum within the court akin to "Upstairs, Downstairs" and "Downton Abbey," but with bloodthirsty rabble at the door. Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews Jacquot masterfully gets across the politics, jealousies and jockeying of court life...and Romain Winding has achieved the beautiful look of natural lighting in lush interiors and shadowy corridors with the director's first foray into digital filmmaking. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews Diane Kruger shows the youthful monarch quickly evolve from a sheltered, near-oblivious untouchable to a marked woman whose life and institution are crumbling at her feet. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine By the time Seydoux realizes what's in store for her and her queen, we're almost as surprised as she is. Michael Nordine-Willamette Week Diane Kruger talks about landing the role of a lifetime -- Marie Antoinette -- and how she prepped to play her. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service History doesn't let us feel much sympathy for Marie Antoinette. But "Farewell, My Queen" almost has us rooting for her and those who love her by its finale. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service An urgent look at the fall of Versailles Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit It was a very pleasant surprise to find that this was far from your average Marie Antoinette biopic. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) As a portrait of a world ending, it's frequently compelling stuff. Chris Foran-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel At 99 minutes, "Farewell My Queen" provides a glimpse into the early stages of the French Revolution, told from the perspective of those who mostly lost their heads because they were too blind to see beyond their own wants and needs. Bob Bloom-Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Beniot Jacquot [...] compliments immersive storytelling with a cast full of painstakingly authentic performances. Chris Stuckmann-Moviedex The period detail is exquisite, and the motivations and emotions of the characters need no translation for the modern viewer. Sarah Boslaugh-PopMatters "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. Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch The movie ultimately has something potent to say about the ways ordinary people, caught up in history's waves, can either drown or surf. Marc Mohan-Oregonian
