Vicky Krieps is brilliant as Sisi, the Empress of Austria, the most glamorous royal celebrity of the past. The drama "Corsage" focuses on the roles and obligations that entangle and limit her: Europe's beauty queen, royalty, wife, and mother!

The long arm of feminist historiography reaches back once again through the ages, slapping the patriarchy belatedly and highlighting the resilient court women. In this case, the stubborn Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary.

After watching the movie, I conclude that weight as well as appearance, though not corsets, are still points of connection between yesterday's empress and western women today.

I don't know if it's something I will watch again, but for the moment it manages to tell this story well. One could say I am more impressed by the storytelling and how modern elements are used, rather than the actual plot.

It becomes somewhat scattered and the film doesn't quite flow smoothly. The idea of old queens in period dramas reflecting modern women is not completely new, if you catch my drift.

The strength lies, besides the beautiful cinematography and Krieps, in an interesting variation of the costume drama genre where modern elements have been subtly incorporated.

Indeed, it is perfectly possible to enjoy "Corsage" without getting trapped in the darkness surrounding it.

I'm getting tired of movies where royalties symbolize female experiences. Always equally restricted in sense, corset, and etiquette. Always with a pale hand, which has the privilege to both have the cake and eat it.

The monotonous and drawn-out plot makes "Corsage" predictable and unfortunately quite unengaging, despite Vicky Krieps' phenomenal performance in the lead role.

I find it uninteresting to follow the situation of such a privileged woman. If such a film is supposed to engage me, there must be something universal in the story, but I can't find it.
