The Affair of the Necklace- 2001, Directed by Charles Shyer, starring Hillary Swank, Jonathan Pryce, Adrien Brody, Brian Cox, Christopher Walken, and Hayden Panettiere
He says- Handsome but ponderous historical drama- based on real-life events- in which a young woman, seeking to restore her family name and reclaim her home, dares to scheme against Marie Antoinette and the power-hungry Cardinal Louis de Rohan. Swank's performance lacks fire and charisma, however, and the film itself never ignites. Narration, by King Louis' house minister (Cox), is heavy-handed and often unnecessary. 2 stars
I say- Boring! Great cast, but really convoluted and boring. Pass please. BOMB
