Timothy Spall and Peter Stormare, two of the greatest character actors of their generation (and woefully unsung underdog heroes) put in thoroughly entertaining performances, as choleric genius architect Alfred Rott and the enigmatic Grand Duke, respectively.
The writing is terrific. Sharp wit, excellent pace and subversion of your expectations at every turn. This is not the film that you think it is going to be by looking at the poster and watching the trailer and it's all the better for it.
Also, the story is about 90% true :)
If you appreciate superb acting and cinematography then well worth 90 minutes of your time.
If you want action and easy entertainment, then look elsewhere.
Superb performances from Spall & Stomare and some technically beautiful cinematography. One of those films you need to watch 3 times to "get" but each time gets better.
Daniels films so far have a graven theme yet beautiful camera work and photography saturating the viewer with warmth and light ?
Above all things this movie has a very dignified and satisfying ending that is missing in many films these days therefore making it a nice "one-shot" type movie with a typically described art house rarefied feel.
8/10.
The bad: the very weird story and characters could not keep me interested any longer than half an hour. Not suited for those without patience for bizarre stories. Probably only suited for an arthouse audience.
The good: the acting is great, the story is bizarre, yet kinda mesmirizing (up to a point...)
Acting is great, location is wonderful and historical references are relevant. This film never looses it's comic approach and get too serious.
Don't expect a plot and get involve in characters and humor of it.

The Grand Duke of Corsica: What a coincidence. The same year malaria was discovered, a sewage system that could separate human feces from drinking water was invented by some regular guy, in Omaha, Nebraska. Huh?
Alfred Rott: That doesn't sound right to me.
The Grand Duke of Corsica: Well, I saw it on the history channel, Mr. Rott.
Alfred Rott: Quite.
