A new film has arrived to dominate the cinema, and this year has been so complicated with so many cinematic proposals that we have had. From painting the world pink, to being on an adventure alongside Mario Bros, 2023 has undoubtedly given us many surprises.
Although the truth is that no one has been surprised that Napoleon is a success, since since the project was announced, people had given the vote of confidence to Joaquin Phoenix and Ridley Scott.
Napoleon would be the best received release of the season.
The film has received mixed reviews, with some critics praising the new work of Riley Scott, who has not hesitated to respond to all those who have spoken ill of his new film. Although the critics have given it a 63% approval rating, we also know how show business works and even if the critics don’t like it, it could still get a nomination at the awards.
If you have no idea what the movie is about, here is the synopsis, so you can decide if you want to see it or not:
The origins of the French military leader and his swift and ruthless rise to emperor. The story is seen through the lens of Napoleon Bonaparte’s addictive and volatile relationship with his wife and only true love, Josephine.
Recall that the film is an Apple+ production, so it’s very likely that in a few weeks we’ll also be able to watch the film via streaming, in case going out to the theater isn’t your thing, especially if it’s the four-and-a-half hour version that’s in the works.
Its glimmers of comic rage and generous helpings of battlefield carnage, though patchily entertaining on their own, never coalesce into a coherent reason for being. Phoenix, you might well argue, is reason enough.- Review on Rotten Tomatoes
What do you think about it? Will you be watching the new film that could be the big winner of the upcoming awards season?
