Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Johnny Depp makes his theatrical return in Jeanne du Barry, a true story about forbidden love between King Louis XV of France and his favorite mistress, Jeanne du Barry. After highly-publicized legal proceedings that took place throughout 2022, Depp returned to the big screen with this independent French film, which had its debut at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
Pros Cons Jeanne du Barry details the life of the title character from start to finish. A young girl born a commoner, Jeanne du Barry found favor with the wealthy and affluent people around her. She was then able to leverage this favor and her own charm to climb the social ladder until finally becoming a very public mistress to the King of France. However, while the King favored Jeanne, there were many that strongly opposed her and deemed her unworthy of the attention she received.
Maïwenn excels and her role affords her the opportunity to explore a full range of emotions, from love and passion, to melancholy and rejection. She embodies a character that is easy to love and adore. And in the face of criticism from the rest of the Court, she holds her head high. The film falls short when it comes to the performances of the supporting cast, such as the daughters of the King. Crucially, however, it's the film's ambition that limits its success.
