THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES, a new documentary by Lauren Greenfield about life on the thin, fragile, sugarcoated top layer of the upper crust, captures the tone of the times with a clear, surprisingly compassionate eye.
New York Times
Rating: 4/5 --

Guardian
[T]he film shifts into something profound, a genuine quiet tragedy, as the Siegels are forced to scale back and their pursuit of the American dream starts to look like a kind of infection rather than anything to do with happiness, a compulsion that demands more and more.
Movieline
Rating: 3/5 --
[Siegel] ultimately emerges as someone who belongs more in The Little House on the Prairie: ever cheerful, and triumphantly unimpeachable.

Rating: B+ --
Were this not a documentary, it would all play out like a lazy satire as the easy ironies pile up.

Willamette Week
3.5 stars out of 5 -- [A] humorous, character-driven documentary....Greenfield's fly on the wall view of obscene wealth punctured like a toy balloon is as current as a blog or a headline.
Box Office
Rating: 4/5 --
[Siegel] is now suing Greenfield for "misrepresentation". Well, I know whose side I'm on.
