Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for history buffs.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 38 min.
What might put you off: It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

A woman is detained at La Conciergerie. She's 37 but her hair are already white. She's suffering from terrible haemorraghe. Her name is Marie-Antoinette of Lorraine, from Austria, and she's living her last four days.
