This isn't really a movie about Napoleon but more of a long trailer of his life.
If you don't know the history of that period you will not be able to fully follow what you see because events shown are a very short version of what really happened and a very short version of his rise to power.
Set design and costumes however are solid and Phoenix delivers a good performance. A very good thing that like in Chernobyl TV series they chose to do everything in English instead of trying to force actors to learn French or make them do a silly accent.
I hope after the theatre run there will be a much longer cut released because this trailer really needs it.
