“Ridley Scott’s Napoleon is not just a character study of this bulldog of a French emperor. He merely exists as a tool for Scott to highlight how power is born out of pettiness and ambition. The film shows us how something as absurd and childish as pettiness along with an honourable virtue like ambition, makes up the DNA of almost every power structure," reads CE review of the film.
