Cannes Film Festival Highlights: 'Jeanne Du Barry' Review and Celeb Sightings.
TL;DR
"Jeanne du Barry" is a sensitive and surprisingly low-key portrait of the French monarch's last mistress, played by director Maïwenn. The film offers a relatively provocative take on all things royal, though it's super tame compared with Canal+'s tawdry "Versailles" series or Albert Serra's recent "Liberté." Johnny Depp plays the French king, but his performance is adequate but not especially engaged. The film risks turning a would-be scandal into a royal bore.
