On his first appearance, since the well-spoken trial with Amber Hard, Johnny Depp is (Almost) on a leading role and he looks...Tired.
If you seek for an out-of-the-movie context, you can read and understand that its director, writer and leading actress - Maïwenn is one of the Unconventional female character outside the movie canvas.
She has spoken, more than once, against #MeeToo concept and spirit, but her movie prime character is one that uses sex to shine and conquer the world which is ruled by men and doesn't stop until reaching the king's throne.
This is the movie of Jeanne du Barry and Johnny Depp's French accent, but none of the main characters are likeable or interesting, as the story itself. It is a monotonic plot, which you see and most of the time try not to laugh especially when the movie is presenting ridiculous costumes, make up and bizarre rituals of that time.
The era was so different and every cloth kind, hair / wig arrangement or any gesture had a significant meaning. It almost seems as if the royal Versailles palace with its residents didn't have anything to do except looking how other are dressed and behaved.
And of course.... ceremonies and a lot of them. Why am I talking about all of these? Because out of almost two hours of the movie, this is what I felt Maïwenn is mainly dealing and not the rise and rise of her main character.
I must learn that Historical dramas and myself must stop seeing each other or else this grumps will repeat themselves once again.
