There are two reasons to watch this:
1. Visual. Views, costumes, architecture;
2. Depp. Who is a part of visual actually, cause there is almost no talking from the King, and only lightest moves of face musles are doing the play (and the play is great)
What holds the deep problem of the movie is Jeanne du Barry. First of all - to be honest, her story is nether unique nor interesting. Second - the actress. The most of her acting is smiling and laugh with almost always no reason.
Another problem is the script. Characters, except maybe the King and his loyal servant, are way too plain for drama. Markedly "ugly and stupid" sisters are terrible - is this disney movie for 6 y.o.? Also, important things are going too fast, while every another Jeanne smile takes all possible time it can get.
If we step out, blur the trees and look at the forest, we will see: what we are forced to watch is just Maïwenn takes her time in decorations almost every woman wants. She even has the King! Why Depp agreed to do this? Well, because they called him. And come on, what actor refuses to play the King.
P. S. By the way, what exactly is "Maïwenn"? Is there any other identifier? Can I also be only one, say, "Ïvann" on the Earth without any further identification?
