Mike McCahill Guardian 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. Rated: 3/5 Sep 17, 2021 Full Review Stefan Pape Common Sense Media For all its flaws, The Grand Duke of Corsica is a unique and contemporary piece of cinematic storytelling. Rated: 3/5 Feb 15, 2022 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 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. Rated: 3/5 Oct 20, 2021 Full Review Alex Saveliev Film Threat The Grand Duke of Corsicamoves at its own peculiar rhythm. Rated: 7/10 Oct 20, 2021 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Fun idea, poor execution. Oct 15, 2021 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 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.

Annette T A Middle-aged man's sad, wet dream. A self indulgent fantasy so unrealistic it was laughable at every turn. Some of the lowest budget production values I've witnessed since leaving film school. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/28/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review andrei d Some good acting, no coherence Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
