Ridley Scott's 'Napoleon' has been met with mixed reviews, with critics divided over the performances of Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby, the film's narrative coherence, and its historical accuracy. The film's UK premiere and its securing of a theatrical release in China have been significant. French critics have been particularly critical, slamming Phoenix's portrayal of Napoleon and the film's historical inaccuracies. In the midst of the film's release, a letter written by Napoleon during the 1812 Russian invasion is expected to sell for £45k. Scott stepped away from 'Gladiator 2' to focus on 'Napoleon', a film that depicts Bonaparte as power-hungry and pitifully-in-love.

'Napoleon' review: Ridley Scott swings big with historical epic — but is it a hit? https://t.co/Ri6XFF3nv0
Gladiator director Ridley Scott offers his hot take on Joaquin Phoenix's villain Commodus, 23 years after the epic movie was first released. https://t.co/0dNZS5ZWbi
Ridley Scott’s deboonking hit job “biography” of Napoleon, enthusiastically hailed by all of media as a righteous deboonking, is yet more demonstration of truth of the “dissident” left and right core belief that we live under a “eugenicist Nietzschean elite.”
Ridley Scott's intimate historical epic Napoleon pulled me in with the decapitation of Marie Antoinette and never let me go. Phoenix and Kirby are superb as the imperfect Bonaparte and Josephine; the battles are massive and masterful. No one better. Oscar voters will admire.

Ridley Scott has never been shy about mocking the infinite smallness of man’s thirst for power, but we still weren't prepared for the extent to which his latest utterly humiliates one of history’s most ambitious rulers.
