Plot:
For all its earnest intrigue, historically accurate references, and elaborate set design, The Affair of the Necklace is best enjoyed as a comedy of Hollywood errors. The court of late-18th-cent...( read more

MCT:June 14, 2008I generally like the movies set in this era.. but I for some strange reason didn't quite enjoy that movie as I thought I would!!!
-
MCT:February 20, 2008God what a yawn! Video club membership means I'm catching up on Hilary Swank movies right now, and this looked promising. Great cast, but Hilary is hopelessly miscast in a period drama with a very indeterminate accent. She doesn't have a period drama face! The story is plodding, but pretty good supporting performances can;t save it. Zzzz

MCT:January 13, 2008I'm not sure why this film gets bad reviews. I found it to be an intriguing, lavish, and well-acted historical drama.
-
MCT:January 13, 2008Wondeful true story of a woman who just wanted her family name restored. Also about the corruption in the French Monarchy

Elaborate set design, yes. Just so damn boring that it's funny. One of my favourite eras and this was the result?
-
MCT:October 2, 2007saw half an hour of it a few days ago on tv and it looked good for some weird reason so have to watch it some time.
-
MCT:September 13, 2007It was a mistake to cast Hilary Swank as the lead. She gave no excitement to the lead leaving the rest of the amazing cast with no energy to feed off of. Beautiful costumes but for how exciting the plot line should be, you don't feel it. Christopher Walken was the BEST part.

MCT:June 8, 2007This movie was beautiful...and tells of one of the lesser known Heroes/villains of French Revolution Era

MCT:February 27, 2007Great little movie. Hilary is not one of my favorite actors, but she did a good job here. My favorite scene is where Adrien Brody's charater is shot in the butt. He is so funny in that whole scene where the Dr. is taking out the bullet.

Hillary Swank's best movie to date. The story takes place just before the French revolution, and it chronicals the events involving Marie-Antoinette and her necklace which ultimately led to the revolution.

excellent story involving the tragedy of Marie Antoinette. Hilary Swank gives a flat out amazing performance.

Pas super... l'histoire en tant que telle qui s'est réellement passée est interressante, mais l'adaptation cinématographique aurait pu être mieux représentée.
