The Queen of Versailles
Crit
Who'd'a thunk that a woman who, despite having brains enough to get an engineering degree, would opt to become a beauty queen and a serial trophy wife, packing on several pounds of pectoral silicone and landing with the man in the process of building the biggest timeshare empire in the world, helping him plan a 90,000-square foot palace, could come off as such a sympathetic figure? Not so her husband, who pretty much deserves everything bad that happens to him, and doesn't deserve her loyalty to him.A film about money and credit and collapse and indomitability and refusal to accept reality and . . . dog shit, a surprising, appalling quantity of dog shit.

I still very much liked the movie even though I’m now feeling slightly misled:
