According to Sophia Coppola the director of the film, MA was both booed and cheered at Cannes. Apparently those most upset were the French themselves who were expecting a biopic, faithful to Antonia Fraser's biography and were appalled at the casting, especially with everyone keeping their own a

We saw the movie last night, I missed them but my husband did see some sneakers. I can see why the movie was booed at Cannes. Not a good movie, poor music choices, scenes dragged in many spots, it didn't have the fun of a Knight's tale. There seemed to be no point to it for the most part beyond

I saw it Friday morning and even though I'm usually a stickler for historical accuracy, I could like it and appreciate it. As for the music, both modern and 18th century music is used throughout. I thought the modern music mostly works where it is placed. This film doesn't pretend to be historic
