7.1

With the epic dimensions of a Shakespearean tragedy, The Queen of Versailles follows billionaires Jackie and David’s rags-to-riches story to uncover the innate virtues and flaws of their American dream. We open on the triumphant construction of the biggest house in America, a sprawling, 90,000-square-foot mansion inspired by Versailles. Since a booming time-share business built on the real-estate bubble is financing it, the economic crisis brings progress to a halt and seals the fate of its owners. We witness the impact of this turn of fortune over the next two years in a riveting film fraught with delusion, denial, and self-effacing humor.

Good doc, a nice glimpse into the world of the filthy rich. Just seeing how detached these people are from reality is fascinating.

An almost sickening look into the life of the filthy rich. I found it fascinating.

It’s so rare to see a documentary that is meant to be about one thing and is forced to pivot to change its subject entirely like this.

The film itself is fine, but it’s uncomfortable to the point of being creepy honestly.
