Marie Antoinette really comes as a supporting role

Yes, Marie-Antoinette is very much a supporting role in this.

Speaking of Marie-Antoniette, there's a nice little detail in the movie where Diane Kruger (as M-A) stands near a famous, real-life portrait (or a high-grade facsimile, in any event) of the real Marie-Antoinette.

Yes! ...and so you see the little resemblance of the chubby face of the real MA compared to the angular, model like features of Kruger.  A miss, i think...

For those of you who are wondering what cubanmiamiboy and I are referring to, go to this link and scroll down to the second picture on the left side of the page:

This is the portrait you see in the movie.

I didn't mind that Diane Kruger looked thinner in the movie than Marie-Antoinette looked in the portrait (which, after all, was an idealized version of the real M-A.)  The absence of bread will peel off that youthful body fat right quick!
