Overdramatised, squeamishly soppy script, silly storyline, ridiculously pompous crap 💩 Glorifying King Louis XIV as the greatest French King in history? What rubbish. Fine acting cast, but they couldn’t elevate the film out of its soap opera misery. Truly embarrassing. Not as cringy as the musical film Le Miserables with Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe, but close.
