The Movie | Napoleon

Napoleon is less a biography and more a two-and-a-half-hour thesis that the Emperor was a brilliant, lovesick, insecure toddler who happened to be a genius at killing people. That’s provocative, but is it true? The film never quite convinces us.

Recommended for: fans of Ridley Scott’s visuals, Joaquin Phoenix, and epic battle scenes. Not recommended for: sticklers for historical accuracy or anyone seeking a conventional rise-and-fall biopic. napoleon the movie
