I was really disappointed in this movie. I've recently become obsessed with French history & was excited to see a film about a strange period during the reign of Marie Antoinette, but the lack of historical accuracy made for a very bad showing. The basics of the story are there, but they took great liberty in the surrounding details. I won't even comment on the actors performances because they didn't do the characters justice, but the blame should be placed on the shoulders of the screenwriters rather than the actors. The Affair of the Necklace is an incredibly interesting story & should have been portrayed correctly, or not at all.
