1 hr 40 min - PG. With epic proportions of Shakespearean tragedy, this new documentary by Lauren Greenfield follows two unique characters, David and Jackie Siegel, whose rags-to-riches success stories reveal the innate virtues and flaws of the American Dream. The film begins with the family triumphantly constructing the biggest house in America, a 90,000 sq. ft. palace. Over the next two years, their sprawling empire, fueled by the real estate bubble and cheap money, falters due to the economic crisis. Major changes in lifestyle and character ensue within the cross-cultural household of family members and domestic staff. "A. Highest Rating! This summer, those looking for the next big documentary will surely want to see The Queen of Versailles, a succulently entertaining movie that invites you to splash around in the dreams and follies of the 1% of the 1%. It's like a champagne bath laced with arsenic." -Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly.
