    Pretty much entirely fictional, Corsage is a work of artistic expression and interpretation more than a biopic. It is filled with deliberate inaccuracies, mistruths, and anachronisms. The buildings and locations often appear ruined and dilapidated rather than lived in.…

    I think i'm realizing that the "white woman anguish told in a series of short vignettes" genre of storytelling may not be my thing, but it was very pretty to look at

    A nice film to put on in the background, I enjoyed the way the story was told, although it’s a far shot from a personal favourite, it’s okay.

    It’s hard to believe that it’s based on a true story. The ending is superb.

Overall, Corsage doesn’t reinvent the royal-as-trapped-canary subgenre (it also glorifies Elisabeth’s ultimate fate in a slightly uncomfortable way), but the film style and attitude, much like Krieps’ empress, make a scene.

Kreutzer has her own style of revisionist feminist history, and aided by Krieps’s bold and brilliant turn, it’s riveting stuff.

Corsage . . . although a late entry to the disaffected royalty subcategory, is arguably one of the most interesting so far, much closer to the ludic, imaginative queen of the genre, Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette (2006).
