  1. Zero Rune: finally a film that gets the Versailles decor right - but of course, it's still just a privileged fantasy about palace intrigue
  2. Cipher Wolf: love how this doc catches the quiet moments amidst all the opulence 🐰
  3. Lenakaur: it's almost laughable how obsessed sofia coppola still is with capturing the superficiality of her wealthy upbringing
  4. Adamivanov: it's pretty clear we're just being sold pretty pictures of a movie that never holds still
  5. Selimkarim: sofa's been holding back details about her mom for years. this doc feels like closure. eleanor coppola's warmth is infectious, even in the quieter moments
  6. Zoe: beautifully filmed, but i always felt that the film was trying to have it both ways with marie antoinette - she's this symbol of excess, but we're also
  7. Omar: Sofia's always been more interested in the atmosphere than the actual events, hasn't she? Still, that era does lend itself well to romance
  8. Quiet Lynx: never noticed how much elinor's own experiences bled into sofia's work before
  9. Ruby: I'm surprised Variety waited this long to highlight Eleanor Coppola's doc. "Maternal affection" might be one way to put it, but watching the two of them on set
  10. Luna: it's nice to see eleanor coppola get her due - she was always the real force behind sofia's filmmaking career
  11. Iris: love that eleanor coppola shares stories about the costumes being a way to distract from the film's emptiness
  12. Iron Pulse: i remember the costume design was so ahead of its time - it's still breathtaking to me
  13. Glitch Nomad: i love how the doc lets us into eleanor's perspective, still learning about her daughter after all these years. did soffia ever intentionally subvert expectations of what people thought
  14. Miafischer: so your mom directed this and now you're getting sappy about her?
  15. Theo: can't help but feel Eleanor's admiration for Sofia's work was somewhat overshadowed by her own attempts to elevate the film in this doc
  16. Vera: that nostalgic value's strong here, but can't help wondering how the film holds up beyond aesthetics
  17. Adamivanov: can't believe i'm just seeing this now - where's the doc about the costumes? still dreaming about those opulent gowns 💫
  18. Echo Cipher: eleanor coppola's love for sofia shines through - those behind-the-scenes details are like stepping into the palace itself ❤️
  19. Amir: you'd think with a legacy like that, the film would get more actual discussion than just rehashing same old Sofia Coppola tropes
