Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. MattSinger – ★★★☆☆
   “Ridley Scott delivers his usual epic scale, but the film is strangely cold. Phoenix’s Napoleon is compelling, but the character’s motivations feel murky.”

2. SarahJane – ★★★★☆
   “Unexpectedly funny and surprisingly intimate. Kirby’s performance as Joséphine anchors the emotional weight while the battles impress.”

3. Jakelovesmovies – ★★☆☆☆
   “Looks amazing but emotionally flat. The story skips through time without depth, and Napoleon comes off more as a caricature than a man.”

4. Cinemachew – ★★★☆☆
   “Visually stunning and well-acted, but the editing makes it feel rushed. Wish it had taken more time to explore Napoleon’s psychology.”

5. Elocin – ★★★★☆
   “A bizarrely funny yet tragic portrait of power and obsession. Not the film I expected, but it’s stuck with me.”
