I’ve been asked about this by a few readers, so I might as well briefly post about it. Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon,” which has slowly started screening for some critics, will have its review and social media embargo lift on Tuesday, November 14th. That’s a week before it gets released in theaters (11.22.23). Based on what I’ve heard, I don’t believe this one will be getting all-out raves, but it definitely does have its fans.
“Hope,” Na’s first film in ten years — his last one being the exemplary “The Wailing” —is a gloriously messy, blood-soaked sci-fi epic that may become a cult classic despite—or because of—its polarizing nature.
