Philip De Semlyen Time Out 09/05/2023
Roman Polanski's Eurotrash hotel farce is an absolute stinker. Go to Full Review
Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 09/03/2023
0/5
An eye-scorching atrocity that is instantly one of the most egregious film-making failures of the year, possibly even the decade. Go to Full Review
Ben Croll TheWrap 09/02/2023
The director’s changing circumstance feels directly relevant to the cast he could assemble for this humorless black comedy, and to the build of unyielding grotesquery that makes the film feel like a giant middle finger to the world. Go to Full Review
Giuseppe Sedia Kino Mania Jan 21
1/5
As a satire of the shallow society and vulgarians sheltered behind a luxury resort, Polański’s moving picture lacks bite and gets only a few laughs despite the sudden appearance of a penguin in the hotel. Go to Full Review

2/5
There is a terrible lack of character arcs and controlled chaos that would have added color to the film, but, all things considered, some of the film's gags more or less work, even if by sheer accumulation. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) 04/26/2024
The Palace is perhaps the biggest final debacle of a cinema giant in all of history. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 29 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Pierre C Jun 12 Grand ! And one more chef d'œuvre from Polanski. See more Flavio S Feb 9 It's bizarre, often grotesque, but also strangely beautiful. Polanski knows how to frame a shot and every scene with Mickey Rourke is pure comedy gold. See more vlada r Jan 3 Nobody got it right,it's a satyre about Erupean foreign relations with other countries with exception of asians. See more kasia a 11/23/2024 In my opinion, the best role of Mickey. See more Dmitriy K 08/07/2024 The only reason for the low rating is because most of the critics will recognize themselves or their close ones in the characters. But what rating level would you anticipate from someone who is told truth about himself, society and times we live in or used to live in until recently. But rotten tomatoes wants to be politically correct here. Hypocrisy at it's purest. See more Read all reviews
