How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →

The TVI Take

Sofia Coppola's 2006 period film anchored by Kirsten Dunst as the French queen. The structural commitment to letting the 18th-century-Versailles cultural specificity be rendered via 2000s-indie-rock soundtrack (New Order, The Strokes, Aphex Twin, Bow Wow Wow) was the most-debated music-decoration decision in 2000s American cinema.

Polarizing on release; increasingly recognized as among Coppola's most-formally-ambitious work.
