Coppola has been criticized for not including an African American character in her film.

All she wants to do is these intimate private little white girl aesthetic chamber movies. That's why Marie Antoinette worked. Young pretty white queen confined to a glorious space away from any hardship

I will say tho, Coppola gave us Emma Watson as Ja'mie King in The Bling Ring which was a hilarious performance

you're so right, which is ironic because that's a movie that i have no problem summing up with the word "forgettable".

even marie antoinette was deliberately completely cut off from the real world around it. she just can't do substance.

yeah I was like waiting for the revolution to creep in etc, but no. that was it. cupcakes and crinolines lmao

but like, I've read a couple of her interviews and, I don't want to sound like a bitch but she just does not seem like a very intellectually curious person. At all. She's just not interested in things beyond her own experience, which, lbr, is sheltered rich girl. I don't think she's the wooorst or anything but it's disappointing to say the least.

imo her films are always so superficial and empty, i never understood how she got so much praise

All she wants to do is these intimate private little white girl aesthetic chamber movies.

Which is why her work is completely unappealing to me
