Mike McCahill Guardian 09/17/2021
3/5
The inbuilt ripeness may repel some viewers, and certain themes go under-metabolised, but it's reassuring to see someone still tossing out curveballs like this. Go to Full Review

For all its flaws, The Grand Duke of Corsica is a unique and contemporary piece of cinematic storytelling. Go to Full Review

3/5
While the script has a tendency to bog down in dense philosophy and uneven plot points, a tetchy sense of humour keeps things feeling fresh. And the picturesque settings help as well. Go to Full Review

Where it is good, it is very good, but in aiming to build structures of this type, Graham first needs to learn how to lay down a solid foundation. Go to Full Review

01/04/2023 Overall, given the leading cast and concept, I was fairly baffled by the end of this film. While the core of the plot held my investment and curiosity, the film has many issues. Some of these include generally finding the leading characters unlikeable, failed attempted jokes and sexual references that feel unnecessary. This plot is downright quirky, odd, and bizarre. I'm confident there's an audience out there who will admire such creativity and quirkiness. Still, sadly this film didn't quite work for me, and I found it both uninteresting and forgettable. See more 05/09/2022 This movie tries to excuse its own self-aggrandizing with the occasional spurt of scatological humor. It isn't clever; it isn't brilliant philosophical revelations through high art; it's dull and nonsensical wind-baggery posturing as such. Disappointingly, it isn't even funny; it's just gross. The movie makers are concerned only with pompously self-pleasuring at the audience's expense. The actors work themselves into a froth, but it's never clear why. At least it looks good.
