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

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

"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 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

Like the Americans, the French are infatuated with their history. They also love long close-ups of beautiful women in period costume. These elements combine in this painfully pretty period chamber piece.
Jim Schembri-3AW

It is the life of Versailles that Jacquot captures: all the petty politics, positioning and preening. And that is simply a glorious sight to see.
Alice Tynan-Limelight

While it does not hang together as a whole, Farewell, My Queen is still an interesting and engaging film that should be overall commended for what it does achieve.
Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy

It's kind of the Rosencrantz and Gulidenstern Are Dead approach to history, observing it from the perspective of a "minor character", and it works ... it's a fascinating glimpse of a moment in history from, essentially, a safe bystander.
CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)

A strangely mixed film, sliding from intimate scenes of royal indolence to muted panic in candlelit corridors, a distinct undercurrent of detached uncertainty always present in both story and style.
Simon Weaving-Screenwize

A mood of melancholy and the film is beautifully lit and shot. But there's something missing in the telling and its often disjointed structure mitigates against the emotional satisfaction we are seeking
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile

Visually sumptuous, this French Spanish co-production about the last days of Marie Antoinette is a far cry from Sofia Coppola's 2006 lollypop version
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile

It should be retitled; 'Sidonie, Marie Antoinette's just not that into you.'
Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show

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

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

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
