I understand that trying to show MA as a bored teenager might play well, but the lack of any content/comment on actual history means this should just be seen as a fairy tale of US high school life instead of European history.
The revolution is hilarious with an anonymous mob waving torches and baying for blood like the villagers in Frankenstein.
Sophia Coppola started it before moving on to write by Lost In Translation. The lack of interest shows doesn't it?
Its half hearted. The electric lights instead of candles... absolutely no character development, even the death of a child is marked only by walking a corridor for 5 seconds in a black dress and then its back to another cakes on a blanket scene. And why did they want to change the number and deaths of her children????
