Ridley Scott Hits Back At Napoleon Movie’s Negative Reviews In France

Ridley Scott fires back at the French critics sharing negative reviews of his new Napoleon movie. Starring Joaquin Phoenix, the latest film from the legendary director follows the French leader’s rise and fall from power with a focus on his relationship with Empress Joséphine (played by Vanessa Kirby). Prior to the Napoleon release date on November 22, reviews have largely praised the historical epic, though French critics have had an unenthusiastic response to its lack of authenticity.
