The Queen of Versailles

CriticsCritics: 88
AudienceAudience: 7.2

A wealthy couple begins building an enormous mansion inspired by Versailles, funded by a booming timeshare business. When an economic crisis disrupts their fortunes, construction stalls and their family faces major changes over the next two years.

My take

You’ll like this if you’re drawn to documentaries about wealth, family, and financial upheaval, and don’t mind watching complicated, sometimes frustrating people; Not for you if you want a brisk pace or a clear-cut hero.
