Review of The Queen of Versailles (2012) by Kay L — 29 Jun 2013

I didn't see THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES before because I thought it would be a one note doc, showing us just how gross the nouveau rich can be and rubbing their faces in some schadenfruede. Well, THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES is so much more.

A microcosm of the warping of the American Dream. Over and over one hears people say, "they were living the American Dream." The American Dream was never about being rich but instead having a good job, lovely family, and reaching one's potential.

Now it's about the disgusting pigs at the center of this film. And let me tell you, they are pigs. A horrible scary examination of America today.
